Trichomonas (T.) vaginalis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide. The estimated number of new T. vaginalis infections accounts for 276.4 million cases globally. The pathogen induces local inflammation of the lower genitourinary tract, can be involved in premature labour, low birth weight and facilitates HIV-1 transmission via sexual intercourse. In the paper, we present basic epidemiological data on T. vaginalis infection, biologic mechanisms by which the pathogen enhances HIV-1 acquisition, principles of modern diagnosis and treatment of the infection.
阴道毛滴虫是全球最常见的非病毒性传播感染病原体。据估计，全球新感染阴道毛滴虫的病例数达2.764亿例。该病原体可诱发下泌尿生殖道局部炎症，可能导致早产、低体重出生，并通过性行为促进HIV-1传播。在本文中，我们介绍了阴道毛滴虫感染的基本流行病学数据、该病原体增加HIV-1感染几率的生物学机制以及该感染的现代诊断和治疗原则。
