Frequency of Trichomonas Vaginalis, Trichomonas Tenax and Entamoeba Gingivalis Infections and Absence of Correlation Between Oral and Vaginal Protozooses in Italian Women

Abstract

Summary Of 367 North Italian women, either gynecological or obstetrical patients, examined by combined culture methods, 111 were found to be infected by Trichomonas vaginalis, 159 by Trichomonas tenax and 138 by Entamoeba gingivalis. The statistical study of the eight possible combinations of the three infections does not reveal any relationship of association or exclusion among the three parasitoses.
