“…The increased prevalence among AfricanAmerican women is consistent with previous reports. 17 Other prior reported associations such as infection in older women 18 and/or coexistent infection with N. gonorrhoeae were not noted. 19 HOWever, we had an extremely low prevalence of N. gonorrhoeae.…”

“…Recently, attention has been focused on sexual reinfection (Whittington, 1957;Catterall and Nicol, 1960;Watt and Jennison, 1960b). Coitus is possibly not the only means of infection or reinfection, and evidence to support this view has been produced by Whittington (1957) and Burch et al (1959), who demonstrated survival of T. vaginalis on inanimate objects. Four (2%) of the 200 patients in the present series were virgins and denied coitus.…”

PREGNANCY AFTER INFERTILITY INVESTIGATION BErrOThe prematurity rate was similar to the general rate. The abortion rate was not much greater than that estimated for spontaneous abortion. The ectopic rate was very high, being no less than eight times the general incidence.An attempt has been made to relate possible causal factors of the infertility to the outcome of the pregnancy. There is inevitably a lack of precision in assessing causal factors, especially when factors in both husband and wife have to be considered together. Generally speaking, however, the outcome is surprisingly good once pregnancy has been achieved, and labour is no more difficult in these cases. There is no increased risk of a deformed child.The results suggest that routine hospital investigation of primary infertility, followed in some cases by treatment of specific abnormalities, increases the chance of pregnancy quite considerably.I should like to thank Professor Sir Dugald Baird for his helpful advice and criticismL

“…Documented suspected non-sexual transmission routes include shared bathing water (Crucitti et al, 2011;Burch et al, 1959), and bathing implements (Adu-sarkodie, 1995); routes that are theoretically possible due to the ability of the parasite to survive for up to three hours in a moist environment (Krieger and Kimmig, 1995).…”

Trichomonas vaginalis is the etiological agent of trichomoniasis, the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Trichomoniasis is a widespread, global health concern, and occurring at an increasing rate. Infections of the female genital tract can cause a range of symptoms, including vaginitis and cervicitis, whilst infections in males are generally asymptomatic. The relatively mild symptoms, and lack of evidence for any serious sequelae, have historically led to this disease being under diagnosed, and under researched. However, growing evidence that T. vaginalis infection is associated with disease states with high morbidity in both men and women has increased the efforts to diagnose and treat patients harbouring this parasite. The pathology of trichomoniasis results from damage to the host epithelia, caused by a variety of processes during infection, and recent work has highlighted the complex interactions between the parasite and host, commensal microbiome, and accompanying symbionts. The commercial release of a number of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) has added to the available diagnostic options. Immunoassay based Point of Care testing is currently available, and a recent initial evaluation of a NAAT Point of Care system has given promising results, which would enable testing and treatment in a single visit.
