ABSTRACT
Trichomonas vaginitis is a sexually transmitted disease by Trichomonas vaginalis infection especially in adults that is significantly associated with preterm delivery, premature rupture of membrane and low-birth-weight neonates. Although neonatal infection is rare, a vertical transmission might substantially occur by direct contact of protozoal infection. The reported clinical manifestation of trichomoniasis is purulent vaginal discharge in only severely infected neonates. I experienced a case of virulent neonatal Trichomonas vaginitis which was confirmed by vaginal wet mount examination in a neonate born full-term, complaining of excessive purulent vaginal discharge, with no perinatal complication of premature rupture of membrane or low-birth-weight. The patient had complete resolution of symptom after the administration of metronidazole, thus I report this case along with a brief review of literatures.
