slide2. Introduction The image shows a direct wet mount prepared from a white vaginal discharge showing pseudohyphae, budding yeast, and human epithelial cells. Examination of a fresh vaginal discharge provides the simplest and most rapid diagnostic test in aiding presumptive identification of Candida species.
Methods
The vaginal discharge was collected from a 37-year-old female with dysuria and vulvovaginal pruritus. The sample was diluted with equal parts of physiologic sterile saline and applied directly to the surface of a slide. A coverslip was placed over the surface of the sample, and excess liquid was blotted from around the edges.
