The applicability of the quantitative buffy coat tube test (QBC) for diagnosis of T. vaginalis was studied. The results of the QBC tube test was compared with that of the wet mount examination in 60 women having genital infection. The cases were selected from outpatient clinic of El-Shatby University Hospital T. vaginalis was identified by QBC tube test in 24 cases out of 60 while the wet mount smear, it was detected in 21 cases. The sensitivity of the QBC tube test was 100% and the specificity was 92.3%. It was found that the QBC tube test seems to have a place in the routine diagnosis of T. vaginalis.
