Abstract
Microscopic evaluation of specimens for detection of STD is a key element in the diagnosis and timely management, particularly of symptomatic patients. It is rapid and inexpensive, and can be used effectively with minimal resources. When cultures are available, it should be used in conjunction with them, since culture results are not available at the time the patient is seen.
