To assess the efficacy of oral erythromycin in the treatment of nonspecific vaginitis (NSV), conducted a nonrandom, unblinded pilot study among 17 women with symptoms and signs of NSV. At the completion of treatment, 10 of 13 patients had persistent symptoms, 9 of 13 had persistent abnormal discharge, and 11 of 13 had persistently positive cultures for Haemophilus vaginalis. Ten patients with p...

Vaginal swabs were examined for the presence of Gardnerella vaginalis. Of 294 isolates with appropriate colonial and cellular morphology subjected to an identification procedure, 203 (69%) were identified as G vaginalis. The 91 isolates not identified as G vaginalis were differentiated by their inability to ferment starch, cause diffuse beta haemolysis on human blood agar or hydrolyse hippurate...

Nitroimidazoles (metronidazole and tinidazole) are the only recommended drugs for treating Trichomonas vaginalis infection, and previous samples that assessed resistance of such isolates have been limited in geographic scope. We assessed the prevalence of in vitro aerobic metronidazole and tinidazole resistance among T. vaginalis isolates from multiple geographic sites in the United States. Swa...

Human plasma low density lipoprotein uptake by the urogenital pathogen, Trichomonas vaginalis, was examined. Rapid binding and internalization of 125I-labeled low density lipoproteins by live T. vaginalis was observed at 37 degrees C. Data showing parasite degradation of the internalized apoproteins and lipid accumulation following low density lipoprotein uptake was obtained. Acquisition of low...

La modélisation des processus d'entreprise comme un "enchaînement de tâches", sans prise en compte de la problématique de l'estimation des ressources disponibles par rapport à la charge entrante (réelle), conduit à empiler des processus parallèles sur des ressources, en considérant qu’elle seront toujours disponibles. La question de l'accès concurrent de plusieurs processus et instances de proc...

Les systèmes d’information présentent des besoins plus en plus croissants en termes d’ouverture à l’extérieur (clients, partenaires, fournisseurs) et d’évolutivité (technique et organisation).Ouverture et évolutivité engendrent des gains de productivité et de compétitivité mais elles exposent aussi de plus en plus les systèmes aux actes de malveillance. La prise en compte des contraintes de séc...

A cross-sectional survey of Trichomonas vaginalis infection has been conducted among married pregnant women attending antenatal clinics, for the first time in pregnancy, direct microscopy technique was adopted. Of 120 studied, 4(3.3%) were infected with T. vaginalis. Individuals age 20-25 years most (3.7%). Women their third trimester pregnancy significantly more (1.1%), than those second (1.6%...

In a study of Gardnerella vaginalis and anaerobic bacteria in non-specific vaginitis (NSV) and other genital disease 89 patients attending a genital medicine clinic had vaginal samples examined for conventional pathogens and for quantitative analysis of G vaginalis and aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora. The overall incidence of G vaginalis was 20%; G vaginalis (mean concentration 7.0 log10/...

BACKGROUND Trichomoniasis vaginalis is now an important worldwide health problem. Metronidazole has so far been used in treatment, but the metronidazole-resistant strains and unpleasant adverse effects have been de-veloped. Myrrh is one of the oldest known medicinal plants used by the ancient Egyptians for medical purposes and for mummification. Commiphora molmol (Myrrh) proved safe for male re...

The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of PCR for diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis infection among male patients with chronic recurrent prostatitis and urethritis. Between June 2001 and December 2003, a total of 33 patients visited the Department of Urology, Hanyang University Guri Hospital and were examined for T. vaginalis infection by PCR and culture in TYM medium. For the PCR,...
