“…3 Studies in South Africa on presumably asymptomatic groups of women reported very high trichomoniasis rates of 20% to 49%. 4 It is not clear whether this is a consequence of socioeconomic conditions and/or differences in the virulence of the parasite strains. Interestingly, many T vaginalis isolates are infected by a small double stranded RNA virus designated T vaginalis virus (TVV).…”

Aims: To screen Trichomonas vaginalis isolates from South Africa for the presence of a small double stranded RNA virus designated T vaginalis virus (TVV). Methods: TVV was detected by simultaneous extraction of DNA and RNA, and its presence confirmed by electron microscopy and nuclease digestions. Results: TVV was detected in 59 of 72 (81.9%) isolates. Conclusions: These results indicate a possible higher infection rate of South African T vaginalis isolates by the double stranded RNA virus than has been reported for isolates elsewhere.

“…Similarly prevalence rate of gonorrhoea was 10% in Bottambay which is comparable to our study and varied in 39% in Sisophan 8 and 9% of woman had a GC positive with moderate PID. 9 As the years passes on, there is gradual change in socio-economy status of each countries, which rules the public health. This change in socio-economic status could be the cause of difference of findings of some other's of study.…”

A substantial proportion of women with gonococcal infection are asymptomatic butsymptomatic in male. Thus in developing countries, problem arises in active casedetection where laboratory facilities for testing are limited. During the study, thediagnostic validity of the hierarchial clinical algorithm as well as that of a non-hierarchial scoring system were assessed among 102 patient visiting at Dermatology/Venerology (DV) and Gynecology(Gynae) out patient department(OPD) of TribhuvanUniversity Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Kathmandu, Nepal. In the study period of 8months, May –December 1999, 9 (8.82%) were infected with N. gonorrhoea& 2(1.96%)with Gram Negative intracellular diplococci. Age group of 20-30 years were found tobe more infected followed by age groups 30-40 years & 40-50 years ( P< 0.10). Themale were found to be predominantly infected than female and married were foundto be more infected than unmarried. Among the infected people most of them hadsecondary level education and least of them had higher level education. Service holderswere found to be more infected than farmers, drivers & others. But male serviceholders & housewives were equally infected.Antimicrobial susceptibility of N. gonorrhoeashowed 100% susceptible to Ceftriaxone,followed by Ciprofloxacin (88.88%) whereas 22.22% resistant to Tetracycline, 55.55%to Cotrimoxazole and 55.55% to Penicillin. Among isolates, 33.33% were ß- lactamaseproducer. Co-micro organisms like Candida sppand Staphylococcus sppwere alsoobserved.Key Words: Gonococcal infection; Outpatient department, Antimicrobial susceptibility, Nepal.
