Trichomonas infection in pregnancy--does it affect perinatal outcome?

Antenatal patients free of Trichomonas vaginalis vaginal infection were compared with infected patients, half of whom were treated and half left untreated. The treated group was given benzoylmetronidazole 50 ml (2 g metronidazole equivalent) as a single dose. The mode of treatment was found to be very palatable and highly effective. The birth weights and gestational age at delivery were similar in all three groups.

[Clinical studies on the therapeutic effect of tinidazole ("Fasigyn") during treatment of urogenital trichomonas infections in women and men (with comparative laboratory studies on the effect of metronidazole and tinidazole)].

Tinidazole preparations are effective agents for the therapy of genitourinary trichomoniasis in women and men. The application of these drugs is very simple and, in particular, suitable as the application time is short and the occurrence of slight side effects shows a very low incidence. Unfortunately, these medicaments cannot be used during pregnancy and lactation. In addition, definite therapeutical recommendations are lacking and the published specific experiences in the therapy of obese persons with these drugs should be verified in future.

[Usefulness of polysaccharide and glycoprotein fractions of Trichomonas vaginalis in the serodiagnosis of Trichomonas infections].

It has been shown that glycoprotein and polysaccharide fractions obtained from T. vaginalis cells can be employed as antigens in serodiagnosis of trichomoniasis. This refers especially to the polysaccharide fraction because of its easy availability, solubility in aqueous solutions, high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity. It has been stated that the diagnostic value of polysaccharide antigen of T. vaginalis, in occult trichomoniasis in men particularly, is higher than the effect of the secretion examination by means of culture, even after the prostatic gland massage.

Haematological findings in budgerigars with megabacterium and Trichomonas infections associated with 'going light'.

Eighteen budgerigars with clinical signs of 'going light' were euthanased and examined post mortem; ingluvitis caused by Trichomonas gallinae infection was present in seven birds, proventriculitis associated with the presence of megabacteria in eight birds and in three birds both conditions were present. Haematological examinations of blood taken from the living birds showed that those with T gallinae infection had normal white cell counts whereas those in which megabacteria were present had significant leucocytosis and heterophilia. Some birds in both groups were anaemic. The findings suggest that infection with megabacteria may be responsible for a proportion of cases of 'going light' in budgerigars and that haematological examination can establish this diagnosis in living birds.
