T. vaginalis is a marker for other STDs in female inmates in Portugal.
2004 DEC 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Researchers recommend that, at a minimum, female inmates in Lisbon, Portugal, be screened for Trichomonas vaginalis infection because this is a marker of the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in this population.
"A study on STDs was conducted among 211 female inmates in a prison in Lisbon, Portugal, in order to establish possible associations between Trichomonas vaginalis infection, sociodemographic factors, and other STDs," reported A. Garcia and colleagues, University of Lisbon.
Almost a third (31.2%) of the women tested positive for T. vaginalis; symptoms were present in 65.1% of this group.
The researchers found:
* T. vaginalis "was more frequently isolated in the 20-40 year age group."
* "On univariate analysis there was an association, although not statistically significant, between the existence of T. vaginalis, multiple sexual partners, drug addiction, and no condom use."
* "A statistically significant association was found between trichomoniasis, prostitution, and other STDs. These were found in 87% of all women."
