Two hundred and sixty two male patients attending the Special Treatment Clinic (STC) of the University College Hospital, Ibadan between July and December 1989, were examined for Trichomonas vaginalis as a cause of non-gonococcal urethritis using both microscopic and culture methods. Thirteen of the 262 male patients were the sexual partners of trichomonas vaginalis infected women. While 47(17.9) percent of the 262 men investigated had gonococcal urethritis, 215(82.1 percent) had non-gonococcal urethritis out of whom 18(8.4 percent) had trichomonal urethritis. The age range of peak incidence among the patients investigated is 20-29 years. A significant difference (P < 0.001) between the number of male sexual contacts that were positive for trichomoniasis (38 percent) and other male patients included in this study (8.4 percent) was demonstrated. Culture of the samples from the male patients investigated gave the highest proportion (100 percent) of positive results. This indicates the superiority of culture methods over other methods of diagnosing trichomoniasis such as microscopic method routinely used in our centre.
1989年7月至12月期间，对在伊巴丹大学学院医院特殊治疗诊所就诊的262名男性患者进行了检查，采用显微镜检查和培养方法检测滴虫性阴道炎是否为非淋菌性尿道炎的病因。262名男性患者中有13人是感染滴虫性阴道炎女性的性伴侣。在接受调查的262名男性中，47人（17.9%）患有淋菌性尿道炎，215人（82.1%）患有非淋菌性尿道炎，其中18人（8.4%）患有滴虫性尿道炎。接受调查的患者中发病高峰的年龄范围是20 - 29岁。研究表明，滴虫病检测呈阳性的男性性接触者数量（38%）与本研究中的其他男性患者数量（8.4%）之间存在显著差异（P < 0.001）。对接受调查的男性患者样本进行培养，阳性结果的比例最高（100%）。这表明培养方法优于其他诊断滴虫病的方法，如我们中心常规使用的显微镜检查法。
