Background. Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. It is a major health problem worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that 180 million infections are acquired annually worldwide. Methodology. Vaginal swabs (1207) were cultured for T. vaginalis on Trichomonas Medium no. 2 (Oxoid) soon after specimen collection. The cultures were examined daily using a light microscope to detect the presence of T. vaginalis. Results. The prevalence of T. vaginalis was 13.6% (164/1207). The infection rate was the highest during pregnancy, 28.1%, and the lowest among women whose spouses use condoms, 8.6%. Conclusions. The culture method was used in this study to accurately determine the prevalence of this parasite in the West Bank, Palestine. The results of the study will eliminate ambiguities concerning trichomoniasis in this country and will contribute to better management and proper treatment.
背景。滴虫病是一种由阴道毛滴虫引起的常见性传播疾病。它是全球范围内的一个主要健康问题。世界卫生组织（WHO）估计，全球每年有1.8亿人感染。方法。在采集标本后不久，将1207份阴道拭子在2号滴虫培养基（Oxoid）上培养阴道毛滴虫。每天使用光学显微镜检查培养物以检测阴道毛滴虫的存在。结果。阴道毛滴虫的患病率为13.6%（164/1207）。感染率在孕期最高，为28.1%，在配偶使用避孕套的女性中最低，为8.6%。结论。本研究采用培养方法准确确定了该寄生虫在巴勒斯坦西岸的患病率。研究结果将消除该国关于滴虫病的模糊认识，并有助于更好地管理和适当治疗。
