Abstract

Trichomoniasis is considered as the second most frequent sexually transmitted infections and the second most common cause of lower genital tract infection worldwide. Because Trichomoniasis is highly prevalent in sexually active populations, it is now gaining greater recognition as an important source of reproductive morbidity and is clearly associated with significant public health problems. Certain socio-demographic and behavioral risk factors may assist in predicting the infection. A majority of women with trichomoniasis are asymptomatic; these patients would thus escape detection and treatment under syndromic management recommendations. In recent years, many advances have been made in the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of trichomoniasis. A major achievement was the discovery of trichomonas vaginalis virus (TVV) infection of trichomonads. So far, there have been four dsRNA viruses identified. The study of these viruses opens a large and wide field regarding their role in the clinical course and complications of trichomoniasis, especially from the point of view of obstetric complications and gynecological oncology.
