• Dear Editor, Trichomonas vaginalis （ T. vaginalis）, a flagellated protozoan parasite emerged as one of the most common nonviral sexually transmitted infections worldwide, often inhabits the vagina, urethra, prostate, and epididymis.X It has been estimated that there are more than 170 million new cases of T. vaginalis infections per year worldwide. However, current knowledge of T. vaginalis and trichomoniasis is based mainly on studies in female vaginal infections. The prevalence of trichomoniasis in males is far less well characterized than that in females, probably because the infection seems to be asymptomatic in most men and can be resolved after treatment with one dose of metronidazole.
