We describe a case of persistent 5-nitroimidazole-resistant trichomoniasis cured after 14 days of oral secnidazole and intravaginal boric acid. Secnidazole may be an important treatment option for resistant trichomoniasis, particularly in women who fail other regimens, including higher doses of oral metronidazole and tinidazole for longer durations of time.
我们描述了一例持续 5-硝基咪唑类耐药滴虫病的病例,该病例在接受 14 天口服塞克硝唑和阴道内硼酸治疗后痊愈。塞克硝唑可能是治疗耐药滴虫病的重要选择,特别是对于其他方案失败的女性,包括更高剂量的口服甲硝唑和替硝唑,且治疗时间更长。
