Growth Kinetics of Egyptian isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis: Possible Correlation to Clinical Presentation

Abstract
Background: Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the
world. Trichomoniasis is an important risk factor for herpes simplex type II infections, human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition and transmission, pelvic inflammatory disease and cervical
neoplasia. Studying the variation in growth patterns of the parasite can be used for biological characterization
of the parasites and might be related to the severity of clinical presentation.
Aim of the Work: Study the growth kinetics of Egyptian Trichomonas vaginalis isolates in term of log phase,
growth peaks reached, division rate and generation time of each isolate and correlation of such parameters with
the clinical presentation of the patients, if any.
