ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the detection accuracy ,the advantages and disadvantages of the microscopic examination and vaginitis five joint inspection method in detecting vaginal secretions .Methods A total of 467 vaginal secretion samples were collect‐ed in Yulin Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine .Mycete ,trichomonad ,leukocytes ,clue cell ,lactobacillus were detected by u‐sing microscopic examination and vaginitis five joint inspection method ,and the positive rate ,sensitivity ,specificity and coincidence of the two methods were compared .Results The positive detection rates of the two methods had no statistically significant differ‐ence (P> 0 .05) in detecting leukocytes ,clue cell and lactobacilli ,but had significant difference on detecting mycete and trichomonad (P< 0 .05) .The sensitivities of vaginitis five joint inspection method in detecting mycete ,trichomonad ,leukocytes ,clue cell and lac‐tobacillus were 94 .38% ,97 .44% ,90 .60% ,91 .59% ,93 .52% ,the specificities were 95 .50% ,97 .89% ,93 .08% ,94 .82% , 87 .27% ,the total coincidence rates were 95 .29% ,97 .85% ,92 .29% ,94 .00% ,90 .58% .Conclusion Both methods detecting vagi‐nal secretions have their advantages and disadvantages ,vaginitis five joint inspection method because has simple operation ,high sen‐sitivity ,specificity and accurate .
