Case study reports resolution of Trichomonas vaginalis with dequalinium chloride in a patient allergic to metronidazole, suggesting a new treatment option.
Given limited treatment options for T richomonas vaginalis (TV) in patients with metronidazole allergy and waiting times for desensitization leaving patients in significant discomfort, it is imperative to find alternative options. This case study highlights an example of cure of TV using 24 nightly dequalinium chloride pessaries in a patient with metronidazole allergy, thus presenting a potential treatment option for further study.
