Trichomonal vaginitis treated with one dose of metronidazole.

چکیده
Since its introduction in France, metronidazole (Flagyl) has become the standard treatment for trichomonal vaginitis (Durel, Roiron, Siboulet, and Borel, 1959). The course recommended at that time and continued ever since was 200 mg. three times daily for 7 days, giving a cure rate of 85 to 98 per cent. (Csonka, 1963; Evans and Catterall, 1970; Keighley, 1971). We have investigated the possibility of simplifying treatment by giving a single dose.
