Vaginitis, trichomonas

Metronidazole is indicated for treatment of anaerobic or mixed intra-abdominal infections, vaginitis (trichomonas infection, bacterial vaginosis), C difficile colitis, and brain abscess. The typical dosage is 500 mg three times daily orally or intravenously (30 mg/kg/d). Vaginitis may respond to a single 2-g dose. A vaginal gel is available for topical use.

Metronidazole treats intestinal amoebae, vaginal trichomonas, and anaerobic bacteria, not yeast infections. 

Trichomonas vaginalis is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted anaerobic flagellate causing vaginitis in women and prostate gland infection in men. 

Urine specimens usually are examined for the eggs of Schistosoma haemotobium or the trophozoites of Trichomonas vaginalis, although occasionally the larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis may be found in patients with hyperinfection syndrome. Urine is the usual specimen for the diagnosis of Trichomonas infection in males. See below (Vaginal Material) for culture method. Urine is centrifuged, and the sediment is examined microscopically. 

Trichomoniasis is a genital infection produced by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. Infections frequently are asymptomatic in the male, whereas in the female vaginitis characterized by a frothy pale yellow discharge is common. Relapses occur if the infected person s sexual partner is not treated simultaneously. 

It is obtained from Streptomyces pimprina and effective against blastomycosis, cryptococcosis, vaginal and cutaneous candidiasis. Trichomonas vaginitis and Aspergillus otomycosis. 

It is indicated in vulvovaginal candidiasis. Trichomonas vaginitis, otomycosis, tinea and Pityriasis versicolor. 

It is drug of choice for all forms of amoebic infections used in trichomonas vaginitis, anaerobic postoperative infections, giardiasis, acute ulcerative gingivitis, H. pylori infection, pseudomembranous enterocolitis and anaerobic vaginosis. 

Adverse effects include nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, headache and goitre (so contraindicated in patients with intolerance to iodine). Prolonged use of iodochlorohydroxyquin causes subacute myelooptic neuropathy (SMON). They are indicated in giardiasis, trichomonas vaginitis, intestinal amoebiasis and amoebic colitis. 

It is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and is mainly associated with vulvovaginitis which is characterized by greenish yellow and cheesy vaginal discharge.

Candida albicans, a yeast, and Trichomonas vagi-nalisis, a protozoa, can cause numerous health problems including vaginal infections, diaper rash, and thrush. The results below show that silver compositions of the present invention produced nearly a 100% kill of both organisms. The results show the utility of silver compositions of the present invention in a feminine hygiene product and in a diaper rash product.

Trichomonas vaginitis can be successfully treated by metronidazole, which has been in clinical practice as the first-line drug for over 3 decades. The recommended adult dose of the drug is 2 g once or 250 mg given orally thrice daily for 7 days. The... 

The action of sialidase also contributes to the liquification of muein barriers lining endothelia, as mentioned above for Acanthamoeba infeetion of the eye. This property is most relevant in tracheobronchial, intestinal and urogenital tracts [245,853], Often other hydrolases, mucinases , support the viscosity-decreasing effeet initiated by mere desialylation of mucins, as was observed with intestinal [854,855], vaginal [856] and other [857] bacteria, as well as with the flagellates Trichomonas vaginalis and T. foetus [858]. Microbial sialidase is considered a risk factor for intra-uterine infection and preterm birth [858].

Trichomoniasis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, which inhabits the genitourinary tract and causes vaginitis in women and, uncommonly, urethritis in men. Trichomoniasis is sexually transmitted, with more than 200 million people infected worldwide and 3 million women infected in the U.S. annually. The lack of symptoms in many men hinders effort to eradicate the disease. 

Metronidazole was initially introduced for the treatment of vaginal infections caused by Trichomonas vaginalis but has since been shown to be effective for treatment of amebiasis, giardiasis, and anaerobic bacterial infections, including Clostridium difficile.
