Trichomonas vaginalis is the causative agent of trichomoniasis, a common cause vaginitis. Despite being readily diagnosed and treatable sexually transmitted disease (STD), trichomoniasis not reportable infection its control has received relatively little emphasis from public health STD programs. It one most non-viral infections worldwide. associated with potentially serious complications such a...

OBJECTIVES We report on a heterosexual male with sore throat diagnosed as oral Trichomoniasis vaginalis. METHODS A rapid strep test and throat culture were negative. An oropharyngeal swab tested positive for Trichomonas vaginalis using a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION A detailed sexual history and oropharyngeal swab testing enabled the diagnosis of oral Trich...

trichomoniasis, a worldwide prevalent infection, is a perfect example of interplay between the infecting parasite and the host, on which the presentation of disease depends. to study the pathogenesis, animal model is required for establishment of infection. in this study, by using strains of trichomonas vaginalis isolated from vaginal swabs and/or urine samples and maintained in axenic form fro...

Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan pathogen of the human urogenital tract. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that trichomoniasis accounts for more than half of all curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide.1 Although accurate surveillance data are lacking, there were an estimated five million new cases of trichomoniasis each year in the US during the late 1990s, exc...

Amounts of putrescine, cadaverine, and tyramine were measured in vaginal washings from five patients with non-specific vaginitis (NSV) associated with Gardnerella vaginalis, five patients with trichomoniasis, and five healthy controls. Putrescine and cadaverine were present in all but one sample from the infected patients; tyramine was found in four of five samples from the women with NSV and i...

Trichomoniasis is the most common curable sexually-transmitted infection (STI) worldwide. There are few reports on the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis in Korea. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of trichomoniasis by PCR in Guri city, Korea. All adult women who visited Hanyang University Guri Hospital for health screening within the National Health Care Service were inv...

Trichomoniasis, caused by the parasitic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis, is the most common non-viral sexually-transmitted disease, and there can be severe complications from trichomoniasis. Antibiotic resistance in T. vaginalis is increasing, but there are currently no alternatives treatment options. There is a need to discover and develop new chemotherapeutic alternatives. Plant-derived natur...

Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite that causes a widely distributed sexually transmitted disease (STD). Since immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to specific trichomonad immunogens are found in serum and vaginal washes (VWs) from patients with trichomoniasis, a potential mechanism of immune evasion by this parasite might be the ability of T. vaginalis proteinases to degrade human immun...

Trichomoniasis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis is a common sexually transmitted disease. Its association with several health problems, including preterm birth, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, and transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, emphasizes the importance of improved access to early and accurate detection of T. vaginalis. In this study, a rapid and efficient loop-media...
