Study identifies trends in trichomonas vaginalis prevalence among patients, suggesting improved detection via multiplex assay.

Trichomonas vaginalis was detected in 0.8% of samples, highlighting a notable epidemiological finding.
Among the detected cases, the highest positivity (1.6%) was observed in patients aged 20-24 years.
Multiplex molecular assays demonstrated excellent specificity, achieving a 95% concordance with the in-house PCR method.
The findings suggest that despite a low prevalence, the real impact of T. vaginalis and co-infections warrants further investigation.

Hamet et al. (2025) studied this question.
