ROJAS RIVERO, Lázara; SOLANO SILVEIRA, Rubén y SARIEGO RAMOS, Idalia. Frecuencia de trichomoniasis vaginal en mujeres suspuestamente sanas. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 1999, vol.37, n.2, pp.66-70. ISSN 0253-1751.
The frequency of trichomoniasis in 5 hospitals from different municipalities of Havana City was studied among 427 women with no history of gynecological diseases that attended the microbiology laboratories of these centers from May to September, 1997. 35 women of the total of women studied proved to be carriers of Trichomonas vaginalis, which accounts for a positivity frequency of 8.2 %. According to age, the highest percentaje of positivity (16.1) corresponded to the group aged 15-20. The diagnosis by culture in vitro had a greater sensitivity compared with the direct examination of the vaginal exudate. The reading obtained at 48 hours showed the highest diagnostic positivity.
