Abstract
Tnchonomonasvaginalis: an etiologic agent of trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection which was carried out among female patients at Nagari hospital, Keffi, Nigeria. Vaginal discharged with varying degrees of colouration and ordour werc collected into a normal saline added to the swab of 0.36gm of NacI solution, the sediments were examined and the rate of prevalence observed were 17 (8.50%), positive with trichomonas infection through the months of April to August. In the category of patients, the unmarried women 5(9.62%) were most infected and 3(5.17%) married women were recorded the least infected and , among female children with pelvic, inflammatory diseases (PIDs) showeda significant difference in the positivity of infection (x2=1.07, p <9.49, df=4). However, between the aged group of 23 - 39 years olds were most vulnerable to T. vaginalis infection though, with a relationship in the rate of infection with T.vaginalis (x2=2.70, p <11.07, di=5). Importantly, most infected female patients had scratclicd-wounds at the superficial' surfaces of the vagina due to severe itching with painful urination, this call for high personal hygiene and regular clinical checkups which should seriously be advocated and proper medical treatment strictly adhered.
