Abstract

The laboratory diagnostics of urogenital trichomoniasis is an actual problem of modern microbiology of infections of the reproductive tract. In the review, literature data on methods of microbiological diagnostics of trichomoniasis are presented, which include microscopy of wet mount and stained preparations, culture techniques, immunological methods and nucleic acid amplification tests.
