Abstract:

Objective To analyze the role of vaginal microbial chip detection technique in the detection of vaginal secretion Candida. Methodse A total of 233 samples of vaginal secretion were collected. Routine microscopy,fungal culturing and vaginal microbial chip detection technique were performed. The results were analyzed statistically. Results The results of fungal culturing were used as gold standard,and the Kappa values were 0.415 and 0.821 by routine microscopy and vaginal microbial chip detection technique,respectively,and the areas under receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curves were 0.73 and 0.91,respectively. Conclusions The vaginal microbial chip detection technique is easy to operate,improves the efficiency of Candida detection in vaginal secretion samples,and has accuracy. It plays a role in timely and accurate diagnosis of Candida vaginitis.
