Popis: Background Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common vaginitis in females. The commonly used diagnostic method, 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) smear microscopy, makes it not very easy to recognize fungi. Methods Vaginal secretions were collected from clinically suspected VVC patients and divided into four groups and examined using KOH, CFW (Calcofluor White), FB 85(fluorescent brightener 85), and culture. The data were statistically analyzed. Results In total, 110 patients with suspected VVC were recruited. The positive rates of KOH, CFW, FB 85, and the culture method were 68.2%, 64.5%, 61.8%, and 77%, respectively. According to the McNemar test, there was no statistically significant difference between the KOH, CFW, and the FB 85 methods (p > 0.05). However, CFW had a shorter diagnosis time than the KOH method and had a statistically significant difference (p
The images under fluorescence microscopy and light microscopy with four methods. a‐d) show C. albicans, and e‐h) show C. glabrata. Both the fungal color and the structure in FB 85 and CFW were clear and easily recognized from the background squamous cells compared with the KOH method. a) The KOH method with C. albicans under light microscopy. b) The CFW method with C. albicans under fluorescence microscopy. c) The FB 85 method with C. albicans under fluorescence microscopy. d) The culture method with C. albicans under fluorescence microscopy with CFW. e) The KOH method with C. glabrata under light microscopy. f) The CFW method with C. glabrata under fluorescence microscopy. g) The FB 85 method with C. glabrata under fluorescence microscopy. h) The culture method with C. glabrata under fluorescence microscopy with CFW.
