“…clinically manifests with symptoms of vaginal itching, odor, purulent, foul-smelling and vaginal discharge, which is associated with pruritis, dysuria and dyspareunia (Schwebke et al, 2004;Swygard et al, 2004). The discharge usually exceeds pH 6.0, and a 'strawberry' cervix, which is characterized by punctate hemorrhagic lesions, is described.…”

“…For pregnant women, topical intravaginal administration is recommended. (2,11) Although metronidazole has selective toxicity, the use of this drug needs to be monitored by nursing staff because it induces the selection of resistant Trichomonas vaginalis strains, has carcinogenic potential, experimentally confirmed in vivo, and crosses the trans-placental barrier. (12,13) The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors associated with the prevalence of trichomoniasis in women receiving care in Family Health Units in the municipality of Vitória de Santo Antão (state of Pernambuco).…”

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.

“…Nearly 50 % of women with Trichomonas vaginalis are asymptomatic (Swygard et al 2004, Romoren et al 2007, and the extent of the inflammatory responses to the parasite determines severity of the symptoms. There are reports of dysuria, lower abdominal discomfort, itchiness of the vagina, leucorrhea, and vaginal odor in some women (Schwebke and Burgess 2004).…”

Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus are important extracellular protozoans that cause, respect i v e l y, h u m a n a n d b o v i n e v e n e r e a l d i s e a s e s . Trichomonads are extracellular parasites that primarily inhabit the genital tracts of the mammalian hosts where they overcome the mucus barrier and parasitize mucosa by contact-dependent or contact-independent cytotoxicity. Transient immunity is usually achieved by the host after clinical infection. At present, vaccination in cattle reduces infection rates and reproductive wastage in affected herds. After vaccination, immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels increase in systemic circulation while immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels rise in the vagina. Only moderate protection is conferred by means of vaccination. Future vaccine development strategies are needed for cattle to enhance the antigenic component or use adjuvant that strongly activates the innate immune response to produce safe and potent vaccines. This paper reviews the current knowledge of the immunology of trichomoniasis infection and the challenges and potential of vaccines in the control of the infection in human and bovine trichomoniasis.
