Trichomonas vaginalis is is a monoxenous parasite which lives in human urogenital systems and causes sex transmitted disease through human sexual contact. Disease frequency has been seen at different rates in different communities or in the same community depending on people's sociocultural status. Previously we made a study for determining prevalence of T. vaginalis infection in woman living in Istanbul. We made this present study for determining any difference in prevalence in comparison to the results of ten years earlier.
