A comparison of delayed versus immediate inoculation of culture medium for the diagnosis of trichomonosis was conducted. The sensitivities of the two methods were 100 and 97.4%, respectively. Delayed inoculation of culture medium for women without evidence of trichomonosis on direct microscopic examination is a valid diagnostic procedure.
