Trichomonas vaginalis causes a common genitourinary infection which is frequently asymptomatic. At present, pregnant women are not usually screened for the infection unless they are symptomatic. In the present study, we screened and obtained samples for culture from all pregnant women attending a prenatal clinic with the InPouch TV culture system and compared results with those of standard culture in Diamond's medium and slide wet mount examination. The InPouch TV culture system was as reliable as Diamond's medium in detecting T. vaginalis and may be useful and effective in a pregnancy clinic setting.
