This study evaluated the immunochromatographic (IC) capillary flow technology for the detection of T. vaginalis antigens in vaginal and urine specimens. The IC antigen-detection test and microscopy wet smears were assessed against the InPouchReg. TV culture. Vaginal-swabs and first-voided urine specimens were obtained from 348 sexually active symptomatic or asymptomatic, >=16 years old women. Nineteen samples (5%) were positive by culture (95%, CI 0.3-0.8).
