| polymorphonuclear cell chemotaxis to secretions of pathogenic and nonpathogenic trichomonas vaginalis. | polymorphonuclear cell chemotaxis to secretions of pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of trichomonas vaginalis were investigated. cells from three groups, laboratory workers, patients with urogenital symptoms, and asymptomatic patients attending an antenatal clinic, all showed greater response to secretions of pathogenic strains, when the secretion was dilute. at higher concentrations of secretion, responses to both strains were similar, except in the pregnant group, where increased chemotaxis ... | 1982 | 6980268 |
| isoenzyme characterisation of trichomonas vaginalis. | clones of 32 strains of trichomonas vaginalis isolated from patients attending a venereal diseases clinic were compared among themselves and with authentic pentatrichomonas hominis on the basis of their isoenzyme patterns for eight enzymes by thin-layer starch-gel electrophoresis. the enzymes examined were: glucose phosphate isomerase (gpi); phosphoglucomutase (pgm); malic enzyme (nadp+) (me); hexokinase (hk); malate dehydrogenase (nad+) (mdh); glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd); aldolase ... | 1982 | 6980685 |
| canine prostatic secretions kill trichomonas vaginalis. | the zinc content of prostatic secretions is thought to be an important nonspecific defense against urinary tract infection in men. this investigation measured killing by prostatic fluid of trichomonas vaginalis, a common sexually transmitted pathogen, and related this activity to zinc concentration. we used a canine model which closely resembles the human male genital tract. prostatic secretions from all dogs killed all t. vaginalis isolates. there appear to be several mechanisms for killing of ... | 1982 | 6980837 |
| antibody to trichomonas vaginalis in human cervicovaginal secretions. | human cervicovaginal secretions were obtained from patients at the gynecology and obstetrics clinics at national taiwan university hospital and cathay general hospital, republic of china. among the 500 patients examined, 33 (6.6%) were infected with trichomonas vaginalis as determined by the culture method. secretions from 24 of the infected patients and 30 noninfected women were assayed for anti-t. vaginalis immunoglobulins by the indirect immunofluorescent antibody technique. a few serum sampl ... | 1982 | 6982231 |
| vulvovaginitis in premenarcheal girls: clinical features and diagnostic evaluation. | fifty-four premenarcheal patients (median age 5.8 years) with symptoms or signs of vulvovaginitis were studied, and the results of cultures of vaginal secretions were compared with those from an age-matched control group. vaginal discharge was found on examination in 24 of 42 patients with a complaint of discharge, and in two of 12 patients without a complaint of discharge. convincing evidence of bacterial or monilial infection was found in 14 of the 26 patients with discharge on examination, bu ... | 1982 | 7099784 |
| urogenital involvements and musculoskeletal complaints in women. an interview study and clinical investigation with special reference to chlamydial infections. | to study the correlation of urogenital involvements and musculoskeletal complaints in females, 311 randomly selected women, aged 15 to 54, were interviewed. in addition, clinical gynecological examination including isolation and serology of chlamydia trachomatis (ct) was performed for 30 consecutive volunteers. a history of musculoskeletal complaints occurred in 218 (70.1%) and a history of urogenital involvements in 244 (78.5%) of the 311 women. the number of urogenital involvements in 218 fema ... | 1982 | 7123176 |
| chlamydia trachomatis infections in women with urogenital symptoms. | chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from 30 to 100 women attending a family physician's office with dysuria, frequency or vaginal discharge, compared with 2 of 30 asymptomatic women. multiple infections were common: c. trachomatis coexisted with gardnerella vaginalis, candida albicans, trichomonas vaginalis or a bacterial cause of urinary tract infection in 15 patients. c. trachomatis was isolated alone from 15 symptomatic women. the source of the positive culture was not always the site of sympt ... | 1982 | 7139448 |
| pharmacokinetics of tinidazole in male and female subjects. | tinidazole is a potent nitroimidazole compound active against, and used to treat, trichomonas vaginalis infections in males and females. speculation exists in the literature that observed differences in tinidazole plasma concentrations between males and females may be due to sex-mediated pharmacokinetic differences. to investigate this phenomenon, a study was designed to determine the pharmacokinetics of tinidazole in male and female subjects. six male and six female volunteers were each adminis ... | 1982 | 7161410 |

| single dose treatment of trichomoniasis. | oral treatment for trichomonas vaginalis infection is now well established. in a previous paper, we established the value of a high single dose regimen of metronidazole for this condition by demonstrating its efficacy in a double-blind controlled study. tinidazole is another accepted trichomonacide. by means of a single-blind controlled trial, we demonstrate that a 2 g single dose of tinidazole is as effective as a 2 g single dose metronidazole in the treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis. the cur ... | 1982 | 7067925 |
| human host response to giardia lamblia. i. spontaneous killing by mononuclear leukocytes in vitro. | to understand host resistance to giardia lamblia infection, we investigated the capacity of human peripheral blood effector cells to kill g. lamblia trophozoites. peripheral blood was obtained from 12 healthy, uninfected individuals without detectable igg anti-g. lamblia antibody or known exposure to g. lamblia. isolated mononuclear leukocytes (mnl), granulocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes were cultured 16 hr with g. lamblia that had been pulsed with (3h)tdr while in log growth. mnl from all 12 ... | 1982 | 7057036 |
| biochemical diagnosis of vaginitis: determination of diamines in vaginal fluid. | to assess correlations between the content of the diamines putrescine and cadaverine in vaginal fluid and the clinical manifestations of vaginitis, a rapid procedure for the determination of diamines has been developed. the procedure involves thin-layer chromatography of the dansylated vaginal washings; then the fluorescence of dansyl diamines is compared with that of dansyl alanine. for 520 college women, the result of the test for diamines was positive in 173 (88%) of 197 women with nonspecifi ... | 1982 | 7061879 |

| intestinal and urogenital flagellates. | although the human alimentary and urogenital tracts are parasitized by seven species of flagellate protozoa [115], only two, giardia lamblia and trichomonas vaginalis, are generally considered to be pathogens. this review, therefore, concentrates on these organisms and in particular on the experimental and clinical chemotherapy of trichomoniasis and giardiasis. due to the limited space and the availability of excellent recently published reviews, topics such as life cycles, epidemiology, prevale ... | 1981 | 7259131 |
| cytotoxicity of human peripheral blood monocytes against trichomonas vaginalis. | human peripheral blood monocytes were purified by adherence on microexudate-coated plastic and detached by exposure to 1 mm ethylenediamine tetracetic acid. lysis of trichomonas vaginalis was measured as release of 3h-thymidine from prelabelled protozoa after 48 hr of incubation. human blood monocytes had appreciable levels of spontaneous cytotoxicity against trichomonas vaginalis at effector-to-target cell ratios ranging from 3:1 to 25:1. cytotoxicity was expressed with fetal bovine serum and h ... | 1981 | 6279344 |
| evaluation of acridine orange stain for detection of trichomonas vaginalis in vaginal specimens. | vaginal exudates from 105 patients were examined by direct wet-mount microscopy and acridine orange stain for the presence of trichomonas vaginalis. both procedures demonstrated greater than 90% agreement in both sensitivity and specificity. when specimens can be examined immediately after collection, it appears that wet-mount microscopy is almost as sensitive as acridine orange staining for detection of t. vaginalis. | 1981 | 6174543 |

| metronidazole metabolism in cultures of entamoeba histolytica and trichomonas vaginalis. | acetamide forms from metronidazole in cultures of either entamoeba histolytica or trichomonas vaginalis as it does in cultures of bacteria which are susceptible to this drug. under aerobic conditions, the formation of acetamide is more rapid in a strain of t. vaginalis which is more susceptible to metronidazole. thus, it appears that the formation of acetamide may be associated with the microbiocidal action of metronidazole. | 1981 | 6272633 |
| [use of a contraceptive suppository as chemoprophylaxis against sexually-transmitted diseases]. | the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (std), especially gonorrhea, has risen dramatically in the past 2 decades. the population at greatest risk is also at high risk for unwanted pregnancies. since currently employed treatment methods are failing to curb the problem, a search was instituted for an available vaginal contraceptive that would have a prophylactic effect against these diseases. in vitro studies have indicated that a vaginal contraceptive made of phenylmercuric acetate is ... | 1981 | 6277015 |
| sexually transmitted infections and cervical atypia. | epidemiologic studies have long associated cervical cancer and dysplasia with sexual activity. in the past two decades an abundance of biological and epidemiologic data have indicated a relationship between herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) and these conditions. unfortunately, the strength of the evidence (albeit circumstantial) has led many researchers to focus exclusively on the putative role of hsv-2 as the carcinogen. at the same time, many studies have shown that cervical atypia, if it is ... | 1981 | 6277023 |

| urethritis in women attending an std clinic. | of an unselected group of 159 women attending a sexually transmitted diseases (std) clinic 20% (32) had symptoms of urethritis. a positive correlation existed between the finding of more than 10 polymorphonuclear leucocytes (pmnl) per high-power field in the gram-stained urethral smear and the presence of neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, and trichomonas vaginalis. conversely, these organisms were rarely isolated if no pmnl were present. fewer cultures gave positive results for these ... | 1981 | 6781707 |
| [difficulties in obtaining a reliable test for determining the virulence of a parasitic flagellate (trichomonas vaginalis)]. | base on intraperitoneal or subcutaneous inoculations, the tests of pathogenicity of t. vaginalis, for mice, do not seem reliable, in our experiments. the impossibility of obtaining reproducible results is bound to the heterogeneity of reactions to parasite of mice from the same strain. this individual effect demands a serious statistical study in the appreciation of pathogenicity. | 1981 | 6786787 |
| activation of the alternative complement pathway by trichomonas vaginalis. | the mechanism underlying the lysis of trichomonas vaginalis by normal human or guinea pig serum was investigated. the involvement of the complement system was demonstrated by the failure of human serum deficient in c3 or c8 to mediate parasite killing and by the ablation of lytic activity observed when fresh sera were heated at 56 degrees c or treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetate. fixation of human c3 on the parasite surface was demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence. the involvement of ... | 1981 | 6795124 |

| in vitro susceptibility of trichomonas vaginalis to zinc. | the prostate has long been considered to be a site of sequestration of trichomonas vaginalis. from this reservoir, organisms are thought to be shed during intercourse and produce repeated infections in the female genitourinary tract. bacteria known to cause prostatitis are inhibited by concentrations of zinc found in uninfected prostatic secretions. the present study demonstrates a similar inhibitory effect of zinc on the growth of t. vaginalis. this finding would suggest that, in otherwise heal ... | 1981 | 6975472 |

| measuring the in vitro susceptibility of trichomonas vaginalis to metronidazole: a disk broth method. | strains of trichomonas vaginalis were evaluated for their in vitro responses to metronidazole. a serial twofold dilution method that measured minimal inhibitory concentrations (mics) by cessation of trophozoite motility was compared with the disk broth method, in which both cessation of motility and inhibition of trophozoite proliferation were used for measurement of mics. these methods gave comparable results in distinguishing a metronidazole-resistant and two metronidazole-susceptible strains ... | 1980 | 6969450 |

| [removal of accompanying yeast fungi from cultures of trichomonad strains (polymastigina)]. | for purifying the cultures of trichomonas vaginalis and t. hominis from associating yeasts we inoculated them into the upper layer of a viscous medium containing 0.1% agar (teras, 1955; tompel, teras, 1976) poured into a burette. on the 2nd or 3rd day after inoculating the first drops obtained from the lower end of the burette contained as a rule only trichomonads. for purifying the cultures of t. tenax from associating yeasts we prepared a special semisolid medium from the liquid egg medium (wa ... | 1980 | 6967578 |
| trichomonas vaginalis: reevaluation of its clinical presentation and laboratory diagnosis. | vaginal discharge is the most common complaint and trichomonas vaginalis vaginitis the most frequently diagnosed problem among women attending the dekalb county georgia, veneral disease clinic. despite this prevalence, the 1837 observations of donné are the criteria frequently used in the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of trichomoniasis. our study shows that a purulent, frothy discharge is indeed a characteristic of trichomonal vaginitis, but if it is used as the sole diagnostic criterion, 88 ... | 1980 | 6965976 |
| trichomoniasis. new ideas on an old disease. | trichomoniasis is probably the most widespread sexually transmitted disease of man. the causative organism, trichomonas vaginalis, can normally be found on microscopic examination of vaginal exudate, although serological diagnostic techniques have recently been described. the organism has now been recognized as a pathogen, and, although infection has been associated with cervical cancer, a causative link has not been established. despite both humoral and cellular immune responses, protective imm ... | 1980 | 6969449 |

| [occurrence of trichomoniasis in women with intra-uterine devices (author's transl)]. | the authors investigated the biocenosis in the vaginas of 216 women with iud and 124 controls without any contraceptive. the incidence of vaginal trichomoniasis in iud probands was higher with significance than that among the controls. culture testing is indispensable to rule out the presence of vaginal trichomoniasis. parasites were not readily detectable from stained and native specimens unless infections were massive. the cytological findings recorded from the above probands were within the n ... | 1980 | 6970467 |
| [a systematic search for ureaplasma urealyticum in vaginal swabs. the results (author's transl)]. | 6.6 per cent 1.069 vaginal swabs showed ureaplasma urealyticum in our patients. ureaplasma does not seem to alter the cytology or the physiological flora of the vagina. on the other hand trichomonas vaginalis was often found in association with it. there is no racial predisposition to infection of the vagina with ureaplasma. pregnancy, however, does seem to favour the growth of this mycoplasma. but this does not seem to have any adverse effect on the progress of the pregnancy. | 1980 | 6969736 |
