Background Protozoan parasitic diseases are endemic in many countries worldwide especially in developing countries, where infertility is a major burden. These infections can cause diminished or absent ability to conceive (infertility) due to impairment in male and female reproductive systems. MaterialsAndMethods Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Google scholar manuscripts were used to identify the most ...

OBJECTIVES (1) To compare the effectiveness of two clinical protocols for the management of vaginal discharge in the situations where no laboratory facilities are available but speculum examination is possible and where basic laboratory facilities are available. (2) To determine clinical and simple laboratory indicators for diagnosis of patients with vaginal discharge in the local setting. DE...

Trichomonas vaginalis is commonly found in the genito-urinary tracts of men and women. Studies of different groups of women have shown an incidence varying from nil in virgins (Jirovec, Breindl, Kucera, and Sebek, 1942) to high levels in sexually active women presenting with vaginal discharge. Buxton, Weinman, and Johnson (1958) found no evidence of trichomoniasis in 157 female undergraduates o...

OBJECTIVE To compare the occurrence of Trichomonas vaginalis as demonstrated by culture and by Papanicolaou (PAP) smears in a sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic. SETTING The largest out-patient venereological clinic in Denmark. SUBJECT AND METHODS As the prevalence of trichomonal infestation has decreased considerable in recent years direct microscopy of vaginal wet mounts is no long...

Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellate protozoan parasite and commonly infected the lower genital tract in women and men. Iron is a known nutrient for growth of various pathogens, and also reported to be involved in establishment of trichomoniasis. However, the exact mechanism was not clarified. In this study, the author investigated whether the 120 kDa protein of T. vaginalis may be involved in...

Routine cytological examination of vaginal and cervical smears is now an established method of early detection of cancer of the uterine cervix, and the need for screening as many women at risk as possible has been repeatedly stressed in recent leading articles (British Medical Journal, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965; Lancet, 1963). Trichomonas vaginalis may be identified in smears stained by the Papani...

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...

BACKGROUND The infection with Trichomonas Vaginalis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in humans. The prevalence of this infection has been reported to be between 2 to 8%, depending on the different socio-cultural conditions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of T. vaginalis in the women who were referred to the gynaecologic clinics at the MVJ medical coll...
