“…(7) In Brazil, the rate hovers around 4%. (15) The prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis in this sample was 10.5% (CI 95% : 7.3-14.4), similar to the results found in another study conducted in southern Brazil in the state of Paraná in 2009 (8) with a 13.1% prevalence of trichomoniasis. Prevalences of 12.6% (16) and 18.4% were found in the literature.…”

“…(4) There appears to be an important connection between women from low income classes with a low level of education and a high risk of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. (15) In this research, the independent predictors observed in the multivariate analysis for the prevalence of trichomoniasis were women with hypertension, vaginal odor and symptoms of dyspareunia.…”

“…Studies conducted showed that 20% of the women infected with Trichomonas vaginalis develop a foul odor similar to rotten fish, as well as profuse discharge which can be foamy, if associated with Micrococcus alcaligenes aerogenes, and mucopurulent. (27,28) However, previous studies (15,25) found that the odor was present in 25% to 50% of the women studied. Dyspareunia, which is pain during or after intercourse, caused by trauma, infection or inflammation, affects women in the sexually active age range.…”

Objective: Evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with trichomoniasis in women receiving primary health care. Methods: A cross-sectional study was developed, involving a sample of 314 medical records, randomly selected through a process of systematic sampling, among women receiving primary health care services. The socioeconomic, demographic and clinical variables were examined. Results: The prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis was 10.5%, and 35% of the women studied lived in rural areas. The adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that the independent predictors of the presence of trichomoniasis were: high blood pressure, unpleasant vaginal odor and dyspareunia. Conclusion: In terms of practical applicability, the results can provide information for planning new nursing initiatives to prevent and reduce the prevalence of trichomoniasis in women. ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar a prevalência e os fatores associados à tricomoníase em mulheres assistidas na atenção primária. Métodos: Foi desenvolvido um estudo transversal envolvendo uma amostra 314 prontuários, aleatoriamente selecionados por um processo de amostragem sistemática, entre as mulheres atendidas em serviços de atenção básica à saúde. Foram analisadas variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas e clínicas. Resultados: A prevalência de Trichomonas vaginalis foi de 10,5%, sendo que 35% das mulheres analisadas residiam na zona rural. A análise de regressão logística ajustada mostrou como preditores independentes para a presença da tricomoníase: a elevada pressão arterial, odor vaginal desagradável e dispareunia. Conclusão: A aplicabilidade prática dos resultados refere-se a subsídios para o planejamento de novas ações de enfermagem para a prevenção e redução da prevalência da tricomoníase em mulheres.

“…Trichomoniasis is a disease with easy diagnosis and prevention, but despite this, the prevalence remains globally high and also at national levels 10 . Currently, there are STD control programs for gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV, but there is not a single program for trichomoniasis, so that one can consider it as a neglected infection by most health services 11 .…”

SUMMARY Trichomonas vaginalis infections have been associated with other diseases so that epidemiological studies of the parasite are important and help to prevent the spread of the disease. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of T. vaginalis in female patients of 19 counties in southwestern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. For diagnosis, was used direct examination, followed by applying a socio-epidemiological questionnaire. We analyzed 300 women and 9% were infected by Trichomonas vaginalis. The highest frequency occurred in women between 18 and 39 years old, single/divorced/widowed, whose family income was at one minimum wage or less, and they had not completed the primary school. Statistically significant risk factors were: women reporting two or more sexual partners in the last year were 3.3 times more likely to acquire the parasite, and those in use of oral contraceptives were 2.7 times more likely to have T. vaginalis. Importantly, 33% of the asymptomatic women were infected, and most of the negative results were from women presenting symptoms consistent with the infection. The findings emphasize that it is necessary to expand the knowledge of individuals about the disease, especially among women with the above mentioned risk factors and also to include the regular screening of Trichomonas vaginalis infections in health centers.
