Ans:
B

Feedback:

Accurate diagnosis is made by identification of budding yeast filaments or spores on a wet-mount slide using 20 potassium hydroxide. When the wet-mount technique is negative but the clinical manifestations are suggestive of candidiasis, a culture may be necessary. Definite diagnosis consists of more than a visual look at the secretions. Diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis is made by looking at the number of Lactobacillus species under the microscope. DNA testing may be required when dealing with HSV infection.
