I have 22 yo G7 P1 (new patient, no old records, swears these are all spontaneous Abs) who presented at her new OB visit with Trichomoniasis. I treated her with oral Metronidazole, which she could not tolerate (GI upset). I then treated her with Metrogel for 7 days, and she returned with a positive test of cure. I repeated the gel for 14 day, and again she is positive on wet mount. Her husband has been on an oil rig for a couple of months and she states she has not had intercourse with anybody.

What is interesting is the Trichamonads are now more rounded and slightly larger, but still one can see the flagellum beating.

What do you use for resistant Trichomoniasis? Do you think this could be something else?

Rick

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
