There are at least 20 Candida species of clinical importance and among these, Candida albicans is the species most
commonly responsible for fungal vaginitis. What is the most common method used to diagnose vaginal candidiasis?
Select one:
a. Microscopic evaluation of vaginal secretions
b. Molecular tests
c. Culture using Sabouraud's dextrose agar medium
d. Direct examination
Please refer to the given scenario below. What is the most appropriate sample to
be collected to isolate the causative agent of the infection? *
A 46-year-old male encountered a motor-vehicular accident (MVA) resulting in
multiple injuries on his anterior chest and left lower extremities. Aside from the injury, his
medical history was unremarkable. The patient was admitted for nine days and underwent
debridement and was discharged with an external fixator. However, during his admission, on
his 7m post-operative day, the wound was noted to have persistent purulent, bloody
discharge from drain site, which is highly suggestive of surgical site infection (SSI).
