Abstract
Fifty-one patients with trichomonal vaginitis diagnosed by microscopicevaluation of the vaginal fluor were treated with Fasigyn (tinidazole)either in a cure of seven days 150mg. b.i.d., or in a single dose of2000mg. Both groups showed a cure-rate of 100% one week after initiation of the treatment. In the 7 day-group the cure-rate was still 100% 4 weeks after treatment as was the case in the single dose group on the 10th dayof the menstrual cycle following treatment. Eight weeks after treatment the cure-rates were 92% and 73%.
In the single dose group 3 patients showed nausea. As most patients from both groups had either recidivating or chronic vaginitis which had already been treated before these results are certainly warranting the use of Fasigyn as a first choice agent in the treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis infections.
