Trichomonas vaginalis was isolated from the respiratory tracts of two infants with respiratory disease. Bacterial and viral cultures of tracheal aspirates and nasopharyngeal specimens did not detect bacterial pathogens or viruses; however, T vaginalis was found to be present in inoculated cell cultures. Both infants were delivered vaginally by mothers with known previous episodes of T vaginalis infection. The possibility that this organism may, on occasion, cause respiratory tract disease needs further evaluation.
从两名患有呼吸道疾病的婴儿的呼吸道中分离出阴道毛滴虫。气管吸出物和鼻咽标本的细菌和病毒培养未检测到细菌病原体或病毒；然而，在接种的细胞培养物中发现了阴道毛滴虫。两名婴儿均由先前已知有阴道毛滴虫感染发作史的母亲经阴道分娩。这种生物体偶尔可能导致呼吸道疾病的可能性需要进一步评估。
