title: Paromomycin treatment of recalcitrant Trichomonas vaginalis.
abstract: We report a 49-year-old woman with a five-year history of persistent Trichomonas vaginalis infection. Treatment with several courses of metronidazole and tinidazole failed to resolve her symptoms. A single course of intravaginal paromomycin was effective in clearing the infection.
