The Current Status of Trichomonas vaginalis Infections of the Male Urogenital Organ

Abstract

The isolation of Trichomonas vaginalis has been declining steadily during the past decade. Particularly the recent five years have seen a statistically significant decrease as compared with more than a decade ago. The most important single factor in this decrease appears to be a declining frequency of Trichomonas vaginalis infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Today, it appears that Trichomonas vaginalis is assuming less and less importance as a causative agent of nongonococcal urethritis.
