title: [Assay of IgA specific anti-Trichomonas vaginalis in vaginal secretions by indirect immunofluorescence].
abstract: 30 vaginal secreta of women affected by acute and chronic trichomoniasis from the Gynaecological Hospital S. Anna of Turin were examined. In the same secreta the specific IgA anti Trichomonas vaginalis were detected using indirect immunofluorescence and titered on LC-Partigen IgA immunodiffusion plates. Only in 30% of these cases a correlation between immunodiffusion and fluorescence test resulted.
