Slides were scanned and then subjected to artificial intelligence (AI) analysis using the HGDDS and subsequently reviewed on a digital workstation by a cytologist, followed by a resident and a cytopathologist who made the final diagnoses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Diagnosis using the HGDDS demonstrated high sensitivity across all microorganisms (95.4%). Herpes simplex virus detection was comparatively lower (82.5%). Of the microorganisms, 85.2% were displayed in the first gallery of 30 images within row 5, 7.2% presented in the first gallery outside of row 5, and 7.6% presented in the hidden gallery of images. Among the 12 cases with missed diagnoses, 3 of 5 Candida spp and 3 of 7 HSV organisms were not presented within the 60 images selected by HGDDS. In another 6 cases, microorganisms were found within the 60 fields, but none were present in row 5.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Very high sensitivity was observed for TPPTs across 3 of 4 common microorganisms on the HGDDS, although sensitivity was relatively lower for detecting HSV.
