Serological aspects of Trichomonas vaginalis.
Trichomonas vaginalis has now been accepted as a cause of infections in the lower genital tracts of both males and females. However, it is often found in considerable numbers in the absence of any clinical symptoms or signs; it then appears to be a harmless saprophyte or commensal.

متن کاملTrichomonas vaginalis. II. Laboratory investigations in trichomoniasis.
Trichomonas vaginalis was first described by Donne (1836), who observed the organism in purulent secretions in both women and men, and stated that it was not present in normal vaginal secretions.

متن کاملTrichomonas vaginalis
We have investigated the effects of a novel neutrophil-activating factor released by Trichomonas vaginalis (TV-NAF) on neutrophil chemotaxis. TV-NAF was present in the supernatant from 107 T. vaginalis (STV) cultured in 1 ml of serum-free Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) at 37°C for 30 min. With a multichamber chemotactic assay, we found that there were 112 + 15 migrated neutrophils (mean ±...

Women bear a disproportionate amount of the burden of these infections, and testin...
