Presentation
A 41-year-old man was hospitalized, presenting increasing dyspnea and extensive ground-glass opacities on chest X-ray. Infection by human immunodeficiency virus was confirmed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Aspiration
Trichomonas vaginalis was isolated from the tracheal aspirates of two premature newborns with early respiratory failure who were delivered vaginally by mothers with T. vaginalis infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Respiratory Distress
The significance of this organism as a neonatal respiratory pathogen and its contribution to neonatal respiratory distress are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Trichomonas vaginalis causes trichomoniasis, a neglected sexually transmitted disease. Due to severe health consequences and treatment failure, new therapeutic alternatives are crucial. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Microbiology
- Staphylococcus Aureus
Additionally, this assay did not cross-react with DNAs of other trichomonads that can infect humans such as Trichomonas tenax and Pentatrichomonas hominis as well as the pathogens, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Gram-Positive Rods
A standardized 0-10 scoring system (Nugent's criteria) was used to evaluate BV on the basis of the presence of large Gram-positive rods (Lactobacilli), small Gram-negative rods (Gardnerella) and Mobiluncus. [doi.org]
Treatment
Our patient had complete resolution of symptoms after treatment with metronidazole. We found few references in the medical literature on the treatment of this condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
What Is The Prognosis? Treatment with metronidazole produces a cure in about 95% of patients. Prevention Important preventive measures include regular use of latex condoms or abstaining from sexual activity. [healthychildren.org]
Control of T vaginalis may represent an important means of slowing HIV transmission, particularly among African Americans. [37] Prognosis Recommended metronidazole therapy regimens have produced a 90-95% cure rate in randomized clinical trials. [9] The [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
We hypothesize that an ascending trichomonal infection may have played an etiologic role in the development of their acute disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
Utilization of polymerase chain reaction-based diagnostics has enhanced our understanding of the epidemiology of T. vaginalis both at the population level and in sexual partners. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
This critical review updates the state of the art on advances in T. vaginalis diagnostics and strategies for treatment and prevention of trichomoniasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
You also cannot pass on trichomoniasis through: kissing or hugging sharing cups, plates or cutlery toilet seats The best way to prevent trichomoniasis is to have safer sex. [nhs.uk]
Prevention Important preventive measures include regular use of latex condoms or abstaining from sexual activity. [healthychildren.org]
