Evaluation of the Microstix-Candida system for the isolation of Candida
Abstract:
A study was carried out to compare the efficiency of the Microstix-Candida system with the standard method of isolating candida using Sabouraud medium. It was found that the Microstix-Candida system gave a 96.8% correlation with the standard method for vaginal specimens, and 91.8% correlation for other specimens. The Microstix-Candida system may be a useful laboratory procedure, in addition to direct microscopy, for the diagnosis and management of vaginal candidiasis in clinics with limited access to laboratory facilities.
