Trychomonadoza (T. vaginalis) u mężczyzn

1) The problem of trichomoniasis in men was discussed basing on 185 cases examined. 2) For the laboratorial diagnostics of virile trichomoniasis one suggests microscopical examination of the discharge from the urethra and prostate in preparations stained by the Giemsa-Romanovsky's method. The diagnosis of trichomoniasis in men is more difficult than in women. The investigations should be repeated when wishing to ascertain or treat the infection. 3) On the basis of clinical analysis of our own cases we have divided the virile trichomoniasis into several stages: a) acute urethra inflammation (acute stage) going over to subacute, chronic or secondary latent stages, b) virile trichomoniasis appears at first as a latent stage without clinical symptoms or gradually goes over to subchronic stages. 4) The incubation period depends on the dynamics of the infection process. In 40% of the acute cases it amounted to 6-10 days. In a group of men observed as mainly suffering from nonspecific urethritis, Trichomonas vaginalis was found in about 10% of the cases. 5) For the epidemiology of trichomoniasis the presence of parasites in the prostate is important. The examination of symptomless carriers of Trichomonas vaginalis confirms the opinion on the venereal character of trichomoniasis infections. 6) Urethral rods with carbarsone appeared to be useful for the treatment of virile trichomoniasis urethritis. Should the prostate be the reservoir of the infection, the cure of all cases is not persistently efficient.
