| Summary: | Transmission patterns of Trichomonas vagina/is
among women population In Khartoum State
M. Dahab1"', E. Osman2 , W. Koko1• 1 Medidnal and Aromatic
Plants Research Institute, 2/nternational University of
Africa, Khartoum, Sudan
Objectives: A study was carried out from January 2008 to
December 2008 to determine the transmission patterns of
such Infection (prevalence and incidence) of trichomoniasis
at two different localities In Khartoum State (urban and
rural area).
Methods: A standardized questionnaire and aU the subjects
were followed by pelvic examination. Some of these samples
were taken for follow up study (Incidence) and examinations
of both samples by wet mount preparation. The study was
consisted routine monthly prevalence carried to find out the
risk factors related With trichomoniasis.
Results: The present study found that 12.0% (297) out
of 2473 were identified of "Sudanese women presenting to
Ombadda and Ibrahim Malik hospitals were infected With trichomoniasis,
no significant difference in the prevalence the
distribution of urino·genital trichomoniasis in Ombadda and
Ibrahim Malik Hospital (P > 0.05). In Alsalam administration
unit gave the highest infection 75 (3.0%) With significant rate
(P < 0.05), the highest Infection between age group 21l-24
years old was recorded among Sudanese women (P>0.05),
the highest numbers of Infections were observed in October
49 (2.0%), Statistical analysis showed significant difference
in the prevalence of infection monthly (P < 0.05), the highest
infection 187 (7 .6%) was observed among the married and
this result was significant With respect to marital status
(P<0.05), T. vaginalis is higher common In non pregnant
women than pregnant (P < 0.05), raise temperatures of
water effect In viability of T. vaglnalis (P<0.05). The
fumigation gave more effects in the parasite (P < 0.05).
Incidence study for selected infected women (17 patients);
the incidence rates turn down to zero infection after 2
months (5.8%); however after one month most the infected
patient were treated for infection (11.8%).
Conclusion: Increased prevalence of Trichomonas vagina/is
Infection (12%) could also reflect lack of access to care and
distrust of the health-care system; therefore, more efforts
should be taken to control the problem.
Other risk factors was determined such as the temperatures
of water, fumigations and symptoms related With
transmissions of Trichomonas vaginaUs, new effective
strategies are needed to combat this infection.
