Trichomoniasis in non-gonococcic urethritis among male patients.
Urethral discharge of 415 male patients, age 18-50, were examined for Trichomonas vaginalis by direct examination of fresh and Giemsa-stained slides and cultivation in CPLM media. In this study, 85 (20.7%) specimens out of 415, were found to be positive for trichomoniasis. Three groups consisting of 30, 29 and 26 patients each was treated with secnidazole, metronidazole and ornidazole respectively. In the follow up controls, all patients were found to be negative for trichomoniasis and all complaints were disappeared totally without a significant difference between all groups.
