| trichomonas vaginalis infections in sydney: laboratory diagnosis and prevalence. | the prevalence of trichomoniasis in sydney was determined by examining 1070 sexually active females in three different practices. infection rates ranged from 17.8% in a sympatomatic venereal-disease clinic group to 0.5% in non-promiscuous family-planning clinic patients. in each of these categories, the infestation rate, when compared with overseas reports, was lower but no explanation for this difference is apparent. of the various laboratory methods used to detect trichomonas vaginalis, the mo ... | 1979 | 377037 |
| comparison of the vaginal flora in sexually abused and nonabused girls. | the presence of sexually transmitted pathogens in the vagina of the sexually abused girl may provide direct evidence of sexual abuse; the presence of other abnormal vaginal organisms may provide indirect evidence of abuse. to identify abnormal vaginal organisms, we prospectively studied the flora of 209 sexually abused girls (cases) and compared it with that in a concurrent control group of 108 girls. case and control subjects were from the same community, were predominantly white, and 71% of ea ... | 1992 | 1593345 |

| sexually transmitted infections, blood-borne viruses and risk behaviour in an australian senior high school population--the shlirp study. | to determine the feasibility and acceptability of screening for sexually transmitted infections and blood-borne viruses and to study the profile of sexual activity and other risk behaviours in a senior high school population. | 2005 | 16402670 |
| multiplex pcr testing detection of higher-than-expected rates of cervical mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and trichomonas and viral agent infections in sexually active australian women. | knowing the prevalence of potential etiologic agents of nongonococcal and nonchlamydial cervicitis is important for improving the efficacy of empirical treatments for this commonly encountered condition. we describe four multiplex pcrs (mpcrs), designated vdl05, vdl06, vdl07, and vdl09, which facilitate the detection of a wide range of agents either known to be or putatively associated with cervicitis, including cytomegalovirus (cmv), enterovirus (ev), epstein-barr virus (ebv), varicella-zoster ... | 2009 | 19261782 |
| simultaneous identification of 14 genital microorganisms in urine by use of a multiplex pcr-based reverse line blot assay. | the aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a sensitive method for the simultaneous identification of 14 urogenital potential pathogens. a multiplex pcr-based reverse line blot (mpcr/rlb) assay was developed to detect 14 urogenital pathogens or putative pathogens, namely trichomonas vaginalis, streptococcus pneumoniae, neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, ureaplasma parvum, u. urealyticum, gardnerella vaginalis, haemophilus influenzae, herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv1) and hsv2, ... | 2009 | 19357202 |
| trichomonas vaginalis: underdiagnosis in urban australia could facilitate re-emergence. | trichomonas vaginalis (tv) has a low profile in urban sexually transmitted infection (sti) clinics in many developed countries. the objective of this study was to determine the true prevalence of tv in an australian urban sexual health setting using sensitive molecular diagnostic techniques. | 2010 | 19880969 |
| trichomonas vaginalis infection among women in a low prevalence setting. | trichomonas vaginalis has become rare in australian cities but remains endemic in some remote regions. we describe the prevalence and associations of infection among women attending an urban australian sexual health clinic. | 2011 | 21371384 |
| the prevalence of urogenital micro-organisms detected by a multiplex pcr-reverse line blot assay in women attending three sexual health clinics in sydney, australia. | this study used a previously described multiplex pcr-based reverse line blot (mpcr/rlb) assay to assess the prevalence and distribution of 14 urogenital pathogens or putative pathogens, namely neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma genitalium, mycoplasma hominis, trichomonas vaginalis, gardnerella vaginalis, ureaplasma parvum, ureaplasma urealyticum, neisseria meningitidis, streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, and human adenoviru ... | 2011 | 21415210 |
| trichomonas vaginalis prevalence increases with remoteness in rural and remote new south wales, australia. | trichomonas has been reported to be rare in australia's major cities while remaining very common in some extremely remote aboriginal communities. this study examined the trichomonas prevalence and relationship to remoteness among patients attending sexual health clinics in rural and remote areas of new south wales, australia. | 2012 | 23191946 |
