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]

• Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

  BACKGROUND: Trichomoniasis and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) shared similar risk factors, age distribution and overlapping symptoms. [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]

• Liver Dysfunction

  Studies have shown that metabolism of metronidazole is reduced at high dosages, making this regimen undesirable for elderly and ill patients and those with liver dysfunction that could result in reduced drug clearance ( 94, 121 ). [doi.org]

• Palpitations

  More serious side effects are rare but include eosinophilia, leukopenia, palpitation, confusion, and peripheral neuropathy. Side effects have been found to be temporary and resolve on cessation of the therapy ( 75 ). [doi.org]

• Vaginal Bleeding

  CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that the main risk factors for PTL were vaginal infection with T. vaginalis, M. hominis, coryneforms, and Gram-negative bacilli, and their determinants (vaginal pH 5, positive whiff test, heavy vaginal bleeding). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
