STD/STI Laboratory Methods Series: Brightfield Microscopy for The Diagnosis of STDs
The PowerPoint presentation, "Brightfield Microscopy for The Diagnosis of STDs" is from the STD/STI Laboratory Methods Series. It provides basic laboratory knowledge and skills associated with microscopic examinations for the diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases and/or infections (STD/STI). The target audience includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, nurse clinicians, physician assistants, laboratorians, medical students, and any medical/health personnel new to Brightfield microscopy (or in need of refresher Brightfield microscopy course).
Description
The PowerPoint presentation, "Brightfield Microscopy For The Diagnosis Of STDs" was designed to inform and instruct clinical and non-clinical medical personnel on the proper laboratory procedures associated with saline and potassium hydroxide (KOH) wet preparations used in the identification of Clue Cells (Bacterial vaginosis), Trichomonas vaginalis, and Candida species. It was prepared by Sally S. Cherry, MT(ASCP) for the exclusive use in STD/STI Laboratory Methods Training Courses and Workshops conducted through Cherry Consulting Network. After the “Brightfield Microscopy for The Diagnosis of STDs” training course, participants will be able to… Identify the major components of the compound microscope; Demonstrate proper techniques in the care and use of the compound microscope; Describe the recommended laboratory procedures for the collection of genital specimens; Demonstrate proper microscopic procedures for specimen preparation; Identify trichomonads in saline solution. Identify clue cells in saline solution; and Identify Candida species in KOH solution.
