Aureomycin in the local treatment of trichomonas vaginitis.

Systemic treatment of human trichomoniasis with a derivative of nitro-imidazole, 8823 RP.

Nitrimidazine in the treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis vaginitis.

Cosar and Julou (1959) studied this preparation in vitro and in vivo in the mouse and demonstrated very high activity against Trichomonas vaginalis. Their tests showed a low incidence of acute toxicity in mice and no evidence of chronic toxicity when they gave the drug by mouth to rats in amounts of up to 50 mg./kg. daily for one month and to dogs in amounts of up to 100 mg./kg. daily for the s...

Late recurrence of resistant Trichomonas vaginalis vaginitis: relapse or re-infection?

The chronicity of trichomonas infections and the ongoing sexual activity are two confounding factors. We present a patient with recurrent resistant vaginal trichomoniasis shortly following a sexual contact with an untreated partner after a complete response to treatment w...
