Diagnostic utility of p16 immunocytochemistry for Trichomonas in urine cytology
Liron Pantanowitz, Q Jackie Cao, Robert A Goulart, Christopher N Otis
TL;DR
This paper shows how p16 immunocytochemistry can help diagnose Trichomonas in urine samples, even in unexpected cases.
Contribution
The study introduces p16 immunocytochemistry as a novel diagnostic tool for Trichomonas in non-typical clinical scenarios.
Findings
p16 immunocytochemistry successfully identified Trichomonas in a male patient's urine sample.
The method is recommended for use when trichomonads are suspected in unusual specimen types or patients.
Abstract
We present a case in which p16 immunocytochemistry helped establish the diagnosis of Trichomonas in urine from a male patient. Based on this finding, we recommend p16 immunocytochemistry as a diagnostic tool for unexpected patients or specimen types in which potential trichomonads are identified following routine cytologic evaluation.
