| description |
A total of 320 samples of vaginal swabs was obtained from women complaining of vaginal infection and attending two hospitals in Al-Sader city, Baghdad, namely Ibn AlBaladi Hospital for Pediatrics and Gynecology and Fatimat Al-Zahraa Hospital for Obstetrics in Al-Habibia district during the period from Desember 1997 till July 1998. Results of direct smear and culture showed that Trichomonas vaginalis infection occurred in 19.1%, in addition to some microorganisms. The most common infection was by Candida spp. (24.7%), followed by Gardnerella vaginalis (13.8%) and Staph. aureus (10.9%). Infection with Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp. and Proteus spp. were 6.6%, 3.8% and 2.5%, respectively. The infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae was very low (1.3%). The most associated microorganisms with T. vaginalis were G. vaginalis (26.2%). Infection with N. gonorrhoeae was less associated with T. vaginalis (1.6%). Fungal infection was 14.8% with those positive for T. vaginalis and it was less than those with negative trichomoniasis (27%). No considerable differences were noticed in the percentages of other microorganisms associated or non associated with T. vaginalis.
