本研究旨在估算伊朗德黑兰女性滴虫病感染率。
本研究对2015年至2016年期间转诊至德黑兰6家妇产科中心的482名女性进行。获取了包括教育程度、职业和性伴侣数量等一些信息，并通过临床检查诊断生殖道的临床体征和症状。从患者后穹窿采集两份拭子。进行了湿片法和培养两种实验室技术检测。最后，使用SPSS 16.0软件进行统计分析测试。
患者年龄分布为15至60岁。482名参与者中有2名检测出感染（0.41%）。所有感染个体均已婚（0.43%），她们有固定性伴侣，且均有临床症状。观察到感染发生率与教育程度（P = 0.03）、职业（P = 0.006）、临床症状（P = 0.001）、婚姻状况（P = 0.006）和细菌感染（P = 0.018）之间存在显著关联。
滴虫病患病率较低，其发生率与多种风险因素有关。
