Role of pH on Adhesion of Trichomonas Vaginalis Isolated from Symptomatic & Asymptomatic Women to Vaginal Epithelial Cells in Vitro
Background: Vaginal epithelium is the most important site for initial contact of the parasite infection in humans. Objective: To investigate the effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) and pH on attachment of T. vaginalis isolated from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients to vaginal epithelial cells (VECs). Methods: Following 1-4 hrs contact of parasite with VECs, wet mounts were prepared and...
متن کاملKinetics of Serum and Local Leukotriene B4 Response in Experimental Intravaginal Trichomoniasis by T. vaginalis Isolates from Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Women
Trichomoniasis is most common sexually transmitted disease caused by T. vaginalis. The clinical manifestation varies from severe manifestation to asymptomatic condition. However, the exact virulence markers led to varied symptomatology was not well clarified. The role of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in the pathogenesis of many parasitic diseases has been reported. The present study reports the leukotr...
متن کاملPrevalence of trichomonas vaginalis in women referred to vali- asr polyclinic and the health center number 3 in Sirjan city
To determine the prevalence of trichomoniasis in Sirjan city, the vaginal discharges of 500 women were examined by direct smear and culture methods from June to December 1992. ( Two hundred thirty women referred to vali-asr polyclinic and 270 to the health center number 3). The mean age of the women was 30 years and a higher percentage of referrals were between 30-34 years. In respect to the...
متن کاملDetection of Trichomonas vaginalis Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction in Pregnant and Non-Pregnant Women
OBJECTIVE Trichomonas vaginalis vaginal infections are often both asymptomatic and difficult to detect by current methods. We evaluated the ability of a newly developed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to identify T. vaginalis in vaginal samples from pregnant and non-pregnant women. METHODS In the 1st study, we compared the prevalence of T. vaginalis detection by PCR and culture using Di...
متن کاملMorphological studies of the cytotoxicity of Trichomonas vaginalis to normal human vaginal epithelial cells in vitro.
In vitro cultured monolayers of normal human vaginal epithelial cells were incubated with axenic cultures of Trichomonas vaginalis. Two strains freshly isolated from patients with trichomoniasis and one strain that had been maintained in axenic culture for several years were studied. Freshly isolated trichomonads showed amoeboid movements, adherence to epithelial cell surfaces, and were cytotox...
