Clue Cells and Pseudo Clue Cells in Different Morphotypes of Bacterial Vaginosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 IntroductionClue cells (epithelial cells heavily covered with adherent bacteria) are an accepted clue to the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. However, the exact morphologic criteria of clue cells and bacterial adherence were never elaborated.Materials ...

Clue Cells on Vaginal Wet Preparation Are Not Associated with Urinary Tract Infections or Positive Urine Cultures [PDF]
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2022 Introduction: Clue cells result from aberrant vaginal microflora and are associated with an increased vaginal pH, which can allow colonization of uropathogens in the vaginal introitus, increasing the risk for urinary tract infections (UTI).

Urothelial cells may indicate underlying bacteriuria in pregnancy at term: a comparative study [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2017 Background Urinary tract infection is common in pregnancy. Urine is sampled from by mid-stream collection (MSU). If epithelial cells are detected, contamination by vulvo-vagial skin and skin bacteria is assumed. Outside pregnancy, catheter specimen urine

CA-YOLO: An Efficient YOLO-Based Algorithm with Context-Awareness and Attention Mechanism for Clue Cell Detection in Fluorescence Microscopy Images [PDF]
SensorsAutomatic detection of clue cells is crucial for rapid diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV), but existing algorithms suffer from low sensitivity. This is because clue cells are highly similar to normal epithelial cells in terms of macroscopic size and ...
