Evaluation of a simplified diagnostic aid (Oricult-N) for detection of oral candidoses.
The validity of a simplified diagnostic aid, Oricult-N, for detection of oral candidoses was compared with smears stained according to the periodic acid-Schiff's method. Samples were taken from 80 locations in 36 patients with lesions suspected for candidal infection. There was a statistically significant correlation between the two methods (P less than 0.001).
