The incidence and mode of presentation of trichomonal urethritis in Nigerian males have been investigated. 19 (10.6%) of 179 patients presenting with nongonococcal urethritis were found to harbor the parasite. The most common symptoms were urethral discharge and/or urethral irritation. The usefulness of examining wet preparations of the urethral exudate in diagnosis is stressed.
