A method for the presumptive detection of Trichomonas in vaginal fluid, thereby providing an aid to the diagnosis of Trichomonas-caused vaginitis. A sample of vaginal fluid is combined with a test composition comprising an indicator system that provides a chromogenic response in the presence of formate; the detection of an elevated level of formate indicating the presumptive presence of Trichomonas. The test composition preferably comprises the enzyme formate dehydrogenase, NAD, an electron transfer agent, and a chromogenic indicator. |
