“…Несмотря на тропность T. vaginalis к эпителию мочеполовой системы, в научной литературе описаны единичные случаи трихомонадного поражения экстрагенитальных локализаций [12][13][14]. В настоящем исследовании у 1 (7,7%) пациентки ДНК T. vaginalis выявлялась в четырех локализациях (конъюнктива, ротоглотка, влагалище и прямая кишка), что было дополнительно подтверждено определением генетического материала возбудителя методом NASBA.…”

Aims: to study the prevalence rate and clinical features of extragenital STIs in both males and females. Materials and methods: a prospective observational clinical study included 57 patients with a history of unprotected orogenital and/or anogenital sexual contacts: group I (n=20) women practicing heterosexual sexual contacts, group II (n=9) men practicing heterosexual sexual contacts, group III (n=28) men who have sex with men (MSM). The identification of STIs was conducted by the polymerase chain reaction method and the ribosomal RNA NASBA detection method was used as an independent additional direct method. Results: a high level of detection of STIs of extragenital localization has been established: in heterosexual women in the rectum (10; 76.9%), in the oropharynx (9; 69.2%) and in the conjunctiva (2; 15.4%); in heterosexual men in the rectum (2; 40%), in the conjunctiva (2; 40%) and in the oropharynx (1; 20%); in MSM in the rectum (15; 75%), in the oropharynx (11; 55%) and in the conjunctiva (5; 25%); in 14 (36.8%) patients, STI infection of more than 2 localizations was found. In extragenital foci in group I patients chlamydia trachomatis infection was most frequently detected (5; 38.5%), in group II patients gonococcal infection (2; 40%), in group III patients syphilis (9; 45%), gonococcal infection (8; 40%) and chlamydia trachomatis infections (8; 40%). Asymptomatic infections in conjunctiva was detected in 4 (10.5%) patients, in oropharynx in 15 (39.5%), in rectum in 22 (57.9%) patients. Conclusions: the high level of detection of extragenital STIs and their frequent asymptomatic course dictates the need to study clinical samples from the oropharynx, rectum and conjunctiva not only when detecting objective and/or subjective symptoms of diseases, but also when there is a history of unprotected orogenital and/or anogenital sexual contacts, as well as when detected infections of genital localization.
