“…Iceland (21) and Poland (22), where no positive samples were found among the participants. In those women attending nine STD clinics in the USA (23), the prevalence rate was 14.6%, in the women of reproductive age in Brazil 16% (14), in women who suffered from problems in the genitourinary system in the south of Iraq was more than 50% (24). Trichomoniasis among pregnant women referring to two hospitals in Ghana was 20.2% (5) and among women treated at a university hospital in southern Brazil was 4.1% (2).…”

“…We immediately evaluated the wet mount prepared specimens and the tubes containing culture media were subsequently transferred to the parasitology laboratory of the faculty of medicine, Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences, Bandar Abbas and placed in an incubator with 37°C where it was examined after 24 hours and followed up daily for a week. Following the examination of the culture medium using a light microscope, one drop placed on glass slides, fixed by methanol, then stained by Giemsa, and examined using a light microscope at 100X magnification (14).…”

Background: Trichomonas vaginalis is one of the most important parasites transmitted through sexual contact. Therefore, it is considered a major public health problem. Best to our knowledge, there are no new reports about the prevalence of T. vaginalis in Bandar Abbas. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the frequency of T. vaginalis in women referred to the urban and rural health centers of Bandar Abbas, Iran. In addition, other risk factors associated with this parasite were investigated. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2017 and June 2018. Five hundred samples obtained from vaginal discharges or fluid were examined using wet mount and culture in Diamond medium. Moreover, the demographic data and related risk factors were gathered as a questionnaire. To analyze the data, SPSS ver. 20 was used and the statistical tests of chi-square and Fisher's exact were applied. Results: In this study, T. vaginalis was detected in 13 (2.6%) out of 500 samples of the vaginal discharges or fluids in which 12 (2.4%) were detected by wet mount and 13 (2.6%) by culture method, respectively. A significant difference was observed between the incidence of the parasite and place of residence, the level of education, and abortion. Conclusions:The relatively low parasite outbreak in the studied samples is likely as a result of continuous monitoring and appropriate treatment.

“…To date, there have been a number of reports of patients co-infected with 2-3 STIs pathogens [32,34,36,[38][39][40][41][42]. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no publications showing patients co-infected with 4-5 pathogens.…”

Sexually transmitted diseases are major causes of infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and premature birth. Here, we developed a new multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the simultaneous detection of nine major sexually transmitted infections (STIs) found in Vietnamese women, including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Gardnerella vaginalis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and human alphaherpesviruses 1 and 2. A panel containing three tubes × three pathogens/tube was predesigned based on double-quenched TaqMan probes to increase detection sensitivity. There was no cross-reactivity among the nine STIs and other non-targeted microorganisms. Depending on each pathogen, the agreement with commercial kits, sensitivity, specificity, repeatability and reproducibility coefficient of variation (CV), and limit of detection of the developed real-time PCR assay were 99.0%–100%, 92.9%–100%, 100%, <3%, and 8–58 copies/reaction, respectively. One assay cost only 2.34 USD. Application of the assay for the detection of the nine STIs in 535 vaginal swab samples collected from women in Vietnam yielded 532 positive cases (99.44%). Among the positive samples, 37.76% had one pathogen, with G. vaginalis (33.83%) as the most prevalent; 46.36% had two pathogens, with G. vaginalis + C. albicans as the most prevalent combination (38.13%); and 11.78%, 2.99%, and 0.56% had three, four, and five pathogens, respectively. In conclusion, the developed assay represents a sensitive and cost-effective molecular diagnostic tool for the detection of major STIs in Vietnam and is a model for the development of panel detections of common STIs in other countries.

Objective To generate estimates of the global prevalence and incidence of urogenital infection with chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis and syphilis in women and men, aged 15–49 years, in 2016. Methods For chlamydia, gonorrhoea and trichomoniasis, we systematically searched for studies conducted between 2009 and 2016 reporting prevalence. We also consulted regional experts. To generate estimates, we used Bayesian meta-analysis. For syphilis, we aggregated the national estimates generated by using Spectrum-STI. Findings For chlamydia, gonorrhoea and/or trichomoniasis, 130 studies were eligible. For syphilis, the Spectrum-STI database contained 978 data points for the same period. The 2016 global prevalence estimates in women were: chlamydia 3.8% (95% uncertainty interval, UI: 3.3–4.5); gonorrhoea 0.9% (95% UI: 0.7–1.1); trichomoniasis 5.3% (95% UI:4.0–7.2); and syphilis 0.5% (95% UI: 0.4–0.6). In men prevalence estimates were: chlamydia 2.7% (95% UI: 1.9–3.7); gonorrhoea 0.7% (95% UI: 0.5–1.1); trichomoniasis 0.6% (95% UI: 0.4–0.9); and syphilis 0.5% (95% UI: 0.4–0.6). Total estimated incident cases were 376.4 million: 127.2 million (95% UI: 95.1–165.9 million) chlamydia cases; 86.9 million (95% UI: 58.6–123.4 million) gonorrhoea cases; 156.0 million (95% UI: 103.4–231.2 million) trichomoniasis cases; and 6.3 million (95% UI: 5.5–7.1 million) syphilis cases. Conclusion Global estimates of prevalence and incidence of these four curable sexually transmitted infections remain high. The study highlights the need to expand data collection efforts at country level and provides an initial baseline for monitoring progress of the World Health Organization global health sector strategy on sexually transmitted infections 2016–202 1.
