well to treatment with metronidazole. We were able, however, to make an immediate diagnosis of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis by microscopical examination of wet preparations ofthe tracheal aspirate and gastric contents. We cannot be certain that our patient's disease was caused by this organism. Aspiration of amniotic fluid results in a similar picture, and the organism may have been jus...

Simultaneous isolation of Trichomonas vaginalis and collection of vaginal exudate.

For the purpose of immunological study of Trichomonas vaginalis infestation in man, methods were required for the simultaneous isolation of organisms and for the collection of material which might contain antibodies against the organisms.

Iron is an important element for the survival of this parasite and the colonisation of the host urogenital tract. OBJECTIVES In this study, we investigated the effects of iron on parasite proliferation in the dynamics of pseudocyst for...
