Significant Difference

At a sexually transmitted disease clinic at Khartoum 613 Sudanese women presenting with vaginal discharge were investigated. Specimens were examined by microscopy and culture. Trichomonas vaginalis infestation was found in 123 patients (20.1%), predominantly in the age groups 16–19 years (27.1%) and 46–65 years (27%). Frequency of trichomonal vaginitis was highest (35.9%) among divorced women. Of the pregnant women investigated, 16.3% were found to harbour the parasite. There was no significant difference in the parity of parasitized and non-parasitized patients.
