Diagnosis of<unk>  is mostly clinical however, a finding of >10 WBC in vaginal fluid, in the absence of trichomoniasis, may indicate endocervical inflammation caused specifically by C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhea although culture is more accurate for gonococcal<unk> .
The use of nucleic acid amplification tests is very helpful for the diagnosis of trichomoniasis.
Wet mount microscopy and direct visualisation have low sensitivity in detecting N. gonorrhea and T. vaginalis, because of this symptomatic women with<unk>  and negative microscopy should receive further testing (i.e., culture or other FDA-cleared method). Although HSV-2 infection has been associated with<unk> , the utility of specific testing (i.e., culture or serologic testing) for HSV-2 is unknown. DNA amplification techniques has good sensitivity, but are not yet approved for diagnostic purposes of Trichomoniasis.
Microscopy (wet prep) and vaginal pH are useful for identifying bacterial vaginosis which may show clue cells.
