Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis among the sexual partners of women with Trichomoniasis. While 103 female patients were found to have T. vaginalis using both direct wet mount microscopy and culture, only 44(42.7%) male contacts reported for screening. Trichomonas vaginalis was isolated from 20(45.5%) of the 44 male contact investigated, whilst there was no laboratory evidence of the agent in 13(29.6%) of the study group. Amongst the 60 control subjects, T. vaginalis was recovered from 7(11.7%) of them. The difference in the occurrence of T. vaginalis between the patients and the control group was highly statistically significant (p
