ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for immediate diagnosis of exudative vaginal yeast infections, using a sample of vaginal discharge, dying the yeast present in the discharge with a fluorescent dye specifically sensitive to yeast, and subjecting the dye to ultraviolet radiation to determine the level of visible fluorescence, with the level of fluorescence indicating the presence or absence of the high number of yeast associated with a vaginal infection.
