“…Stwierdzane są one znacznie częściej u pacjentów z niskim poziomem higieny jamy ustnej, stanami zapalnymi w jej obrębie oraz z chorobami przyzębia (2,22,29,37,38,58,(60)(61)(62). Szczególnie interesujące są doniesienia o izolacji T. tenax z płuc, wysięku z opłuc-nej, ślinianek, węzłów chłonnych, a nawet z gruczołu mlekowego u osób z obniżoną odpornością (19,27,28,30,39,44,85). Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że na świecie jest coraz więcej osób z obniżoną odpornością, można przypuszczać, że liczba inwazji wywoływanych przez te pierwotniaki będzie wzrastać.…”

Trichomonads are anaerobic, flagellated protists belonging to the large phylum Parabasalia. In most cases, they exist as endosymbionts – harmless comensals of invertebrates and vertebrates – but several species are considered to be imported intestinal or urogenital parasites of humans and other animals. This paper presents current information on the taxonomy, morphology and biology of trichomonads. The characterization of invasiology followed by the description of virulence factors and pathogenic mechanisms of trichomonads is presented. The present paper also reviews diagnostic methods, treatment and prevention of trichomoniasis.

“…Giemsa staining is also quite useful. In other kinds of samples, such as bronchoalveolar lavage, its presence has been described, together with numerous eosinophils, in a patient with a history of asthma [64]. Identification of the species is possible using molecular biology techniques [65,66].…”

Among the micro-organisms that may affect the respiratory apparatus are the protozoa. The diseases they may give rise to constitute a relatively uncommon group of respiratory ailments with, in the majority of cases, an underlying clinical situation corresponding to states of suppressed immunity (AIDS, transplants, malign haemopathies, corticotherapy, etc.). Other factors, such as visits to endemic areas and immigration, also have to be taken into account.In view of the probable increase in the number of cases and the appearance of new emerging diseases, it is the intention of the present work to review the publications available, in different fields of medicine, that refer to the principal kinds of protozoa (Entamoeba,

Aim: To develop a sensitive and specific polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Pentatrichomonas hominis in biological specimens. Methods: Three primers, associated in two primer pairs, were designed to amplify a sequence from the SSU rRNA gene of P. hominis. The specificity of both primer pairs was established by testing DNA extractions of different Trichomonad species, protozoa, bacteria, yeasts, and human leucocytes. The analytical sensitivity was determined through testing dilutions of P. hominis trophozoites. The clinical specificity and applicability of the assay was evaluated on stool samples and self-administered vaginal swabs. Conclusions: A highly specific and sensitive PCR assay was developed. Both primer pairs performed equally well. Significance and Impact of the Study: The presence of P. hominis in vaginal specimens has not been reported before. 1
