چکیده
Background Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are one of the major causes of acute illness, infertility, long term disability and death for millions of men, women and infants globally. Trichomonas vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis are well established agents of STIs leading to vaginal discharge in women. However, the prevalence and co infection patterns among symptomatic women is lacking in India. The present study aims to determine the prevalence and co infection of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas vaginalis, in women with vaginal discharge attending OPD, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi.
