Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellate protozoon which in women commonly causes vaginal itching; burning, and a frothy, offensive and seropurulent yellowish discharge. Incidence of infection in women varies from 13 to 60%, and is highest during pregnancy because of excess estrogens and in women with poor hygiene or with vaginitis. In men, the incidence ranges from 9 to 37% of persons with urethral discharge. This study presents the results of the use of a single dose treatment of Trichomonas vaginitis with 2.0 gm Tinidazole. 350 women with vaginal discharge from the Gynecology Dept. of Cairo University hospitals were studied. Microscopic study of the discharge revealed T. vaginalis in 103 cases (aged 17 to 48 years). Majority of the clinical complaints (pruritus vulvae; soreness; sense of fullness in vagina and dysuria) disappeared in all cases after administration of 2.0 gm single dose of Tinidazole. Discharge; dyspareunia and soreness or pain at vulval interoitus disappeared in about 2/3 of cases; improved in about 1/4 and persisted in less than 8% (failure in these cases was attributed to other causes such as cervical erosion; bacterial infections; hormonal or other pathologic lesions in the internal genitalia). Mild gastrointestinal reaction (nausea and vomiting) were observed in 5 cases and transient urticaria in 1 case.
