Abstract
Donné in 1936 dscoverud Trichomonas vagjnalj8 in vUinal discharge (Balding, 1965). Diagnosis of T. vaginaija infection is routinely made by the typical physical findings and confirmed by microscopic identification of viable trichomonads in wet mounts of vaginal and prostatic discharges (Fac at al. , 1q56 Nagaty ar1 Salem, 1962 & Saleh . , 1978). Asymptomatic carriers can be diagnosed by culture uethods (Johnson and Trussell, 1943).
Additional techniques of diagnosis of trichomonjasis based on serological methods are developing. Mjchalzjk (1953) used Sabin—Feidman dye test in diagnosis of T. galjs with positive results of 64%. Also complement fixation test (C. F. T.) gave similar results. Kerr (1944) used the intradermal test in bovine trjchomonjasjs. 1ance1uy (1954) studied the laboratory aspect of T. vaginalis. tilc nntegart at al. (1958) used the fluorescent antisera in the detection of P. vagjnaljs. Chung and Soh (1970)
studied Trichomonas immobilization ag’giutinatjon reaction (I.A.R.). 1aaon (1979) used the indirect f1uoescent antibody test in his stidy on T. vagna1s lnfected patients. Benntle • al. (1980) used specific antiserum. Salem et al. (1981) evaluated the indirect fluorescent antibody teat (l.F.A.T.) for diagnosis of trichomoniasis. Holbrook , al. (198’2) used the indirect fluorescent antibody test and compleaitnt assay during their studies
on T. vaginaljs1, Street 8t al. (1982) used the eLzyme—1jed
immunosorbent assay (18A) test in measuring entibodje against 1?. vagjria1js Ackers (1986) mentioned the different immunological procedures used in the identifjoat,iou of richo— rnn genera , species and strains. he importance of sensi— tive tests such as enzyme—1jxkod immunosorbent assay, monoclonal antibody assay and the fluorescent antibody test were considered to bold great promise for the future.
A1o Honigberg (1986) pointed out that there were still large gaps in our knowledge of the antigonjo propertjea of P.
vaginalis.
