Multiplex PCR assay targeting Trichomonas vaginalis: need for biological evaluation and interpretation
Résumé
In a retrospective study, we used sequencing to investigate Trichomonas vaginalis-positive specimens (genital, rectal and pharyngeal) with the Allplex™ STI Essential or the Anyplex™-II-STI-7 assays. Our results confirm that majority of T. vaginalis-positive genital and pharyngeal specimens contained T. vaginalis DNA and actually T. tenax DNA, respectively.
