“…However, location of adolescent girls did not affect significantly the prevalence of trichomoniasis in this study (P=0.0912). This finding is inconsistent with the report of Nazariet al (17) that had higher prevalence of T. vaginalis infection from the urban dwellers than their rural counterparts. The reason for this difference is unclear.…”

“…vaginalis was observed in 25 (9.2%) out of the 272 adolescent girls in this study using the culture methods whereas 15 (5.5%) from the 25 infected participants were positive for T. vaginalis using the wet mount preparation. Others reported similar findings (17,23,24). Direct microscopic examination of the vaginal specimen remains the most widely used diagnostic test for T. vaginalis infection (10).…”

“…Direct microscopic examination of the vaginal specimen remains the most widely used diagnostic test for T. vaginalis infection (10). Culture methods have been reported as the current gold standard for the detection of T. vaginalis and should be considered for widespread clinical use (17,25). We suggest the inclusion of culture methods in the screening of T. vaginalis.…”

Trichomonasvaginalisis the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease (STD) and one of the neglected parasitic infections. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of T. vaginalisinfection among adolescent girls in some secondary schools in Edo State, Nigeria. A total of 272 girls were recruited in this study. The participants' age ranged from 13 to 18 years. Two high vagina swab specimens were collected from each participant. The specimens were analyzed using wet mount examination and culture methods. A prevalence of 9.2% of T. vaginalis was observed among adolescent girls in this study. Level of education of parents, occupation of mothers, sexual relationship and clinical manifestation of participants significantly affected the prevalence of T. vaginalisinfection among adolescent girls attending secondary school. Culture method detected more cases of T. vaginalis infection than the wet mount technique. The use of culture method in routine diagnosis of T. vaginalisinfection is advocated as this will reduce cases of infertility resulting from undetected and untreated infection as well as the risk of HIV transmission and acquisition.

Background: Trichomoniasis is one of the most non-viral sexually transmitted diseases worldwide that causes some complications such as adverse pregnancy outcomes. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of Trichomonas vaginalis infection among pregnant women in Hamadan, west of Iran. Methods: This study was conducted on 1200 pregnant women attending the Hamadan city health centers in 2015. After gathering socio-demographic characteristics and clinical signs and symptoms of the women, first-voided morning urine was collected from the all participants and subjected to sediment wet-mount preparations and Dorset culture medium for detection of T. vaginalis. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. Results: T. vaginalis was diagnosed in 0.6% (7/1200) of the urine samples using two parasitological methods. Dorset culture medium and direct wet-mount examination of the urine sediments were positive in 7 (0.6%) and 4 (0.3%) samples, respectively. There was no relationship between trichomoniasis and age, education, occupation, place of living, husband's job, and history of contraceptive methods (P > 0.05). Conclusions:The results demonstrated the rate of T. vaginalis infection in pregnant women is relatively low in the area but, because of the importance of this issue in pregnant women, it can be substantial during antenatal care.

Purpose Trichomoniasis is a parasitic disease of human reproductive-urinary system and the most important non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Due toits importance to the human reproductive health, HIV transmission and limited information on the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis, current study was investigated to evaluate of T. vaginalis among suspicious women who referred to health centers of Tabriz, northwest of Iran. Methods Study was conducted on 448 suspicious women who attended to the gynecological ward of 29 Bahman hospital in Tabriz,northwest of Iran, during September 2016 to September 2017. Demographic datawas collected based on study protocol. Vaginal discharges were obtained by sterile swabs and prevalence of T. vaginalis was determined wet-mount staining examinations and PCR method. Results Of the 448 cases studied, 48 (10.7%) were positive by wet-mount staining examinations, 4 (0.89%) by PCR method respectively. The mean age of infected individual was 41.7 ± 9.4 years. No statistical correlation was observed between inflammation, method of contraception and parasitological results (p = 0.8). Conclusion The results of presentstudy showed a relatively low prevalence of T. vaginalis infection in the study population. Clinical diagnosis besides variety of end-stage techniques to obtain an accurate data are needed.
