[Trichomonal infections in promiscuous women].

Vaginal swabs taken from 2,096 promiscuous women were examined microscopically and more swabs from 1,813 women were cultivated. The women examined were divided into 4 different age groups (15-20 years, 21-25 years, 26-30 years and over 30 years). The occurrence of trichomonadosis was diminishing with the age: 65.0%--51.2%--47.7%--41.8%. The occurrence of gonorrhoea was bit lower among the youngest women (25.9%) than among the older ones, the lowest occurrence being among the group of over 30 years (12.7%). The high occurrence of the mentioned infections underlines the risk of infection during sexual intercourse with promiscuous women.
