Abstract: 206,034 users, 7,349 have shown Thricomoniasis, being 3,788 in 2004 and 3,498 in 2005. It could be observed that the estimated prevalence in Sergipe in the biennium studied did not corroborate with the Brazilian reality, which may be attributed to the diagnostic executed.

“…The discharge, which is the product of the clinical manifestations of this parasite, presents a yellowish, abundant, foamy and mucopurulent appearance, with abnormal vaginal odor and vulvar pruritus. 17 A study carried out in the city of Sergipe, Brazil, by Almeida et al, 18 showed that the majority of the cases that confirmed the disease were female, with ages ranging from 19 to 44 years, and most of them in incomplete basic schooling, in agreement with the studies of other authors mentioned in the article. Vaginitis, whether infectious or not, is one of the most common problems in clinical medicine and is one of the main reasons why women seek a gynecologist.…”

“…A study carried out in the state of Sergipe found that 62.72% of the women with incomplete elementary school had this affliction. (4) There appears to be an important connection between women from low income classes with a low level of education and a high risk of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. (15) In this research, the independent predictors observed in the multivariate analysis for the prevalence of trichomoniasis were women with hypertension, vaginal odor and symptoms of dyspareunia.…”

“…This finding may be related to morphological and physiological descriptions that favor the establishment of the pathogen. (4,8) Under natural conditions, the epithelium of the female reproductive tract undergoes cyclical changes involving hormonal cycles, declining steroid hormones, changes in the pH and flora combination and intense peeling of the tissue. These factors favor the establishment of pathogenic microorganisms, especially among adult women.…”
