A kit which employs FITC- or enzyme-labeled monoclonal antibodies for use in a DFA or EIA procedure is available for detection of whole parasites in fluids. A latex agglutination test for antigen detection in vaginal swab specimens is available; the manufacturer's evaluation indicated good sensitivity and specificity.
The MRT test, on the other hand, has a 94% sensitivity and 92% specificity, and is extremely reliable with a split sample reproducibility consistently greater than 90%. It is an end-point test, meaning it measures the outcomes of all the possible non-IgE reactions, including IgG, IgM, complement, and T-cell reactions.
