A "not isolated" result
Hello,
Could somebody please confirm whether a not isolated result means an infection has been present at some stage and why that result would be present on a swab taken on a young female of 5 - lvs - result trichamonas not isolated.
With thanks.

we only test for trich in 5 year old girls if sexual abuse is suspected. girls of that age rarely have vaginal infections so we don't even put them through the trauma of testing for them unless we suspect abuse.
No it does not mean that it could be present at some point.
Talk to the Dr about why test was done.

Hi Grace
Thanks for your reply. I am aware that it means the test was negative. What I wanted to know was whether that infection could have been present at some stage and Trichomonas is an STI, why it was being tested for in the first place given the age of the patient.
Thanks.
