A. israelii was not identified in non-intrauterine device (IUD)-wearers. The prevalence of A. israelii among IUD wearers ranged from 1.6% (general population) to 5.3% (clinical population). Direct immunofluorescence proved to be a more accurate and specific method of identification when compared with conventional light microscopy and anaerobic culture. Two of 112 women with direct immunofluorescence-proved A. israelii had significant clinical infections.
