Abstract
During the year of 2003, vaginal discharge specimens were collected from 1767 women aged (15-50) in 6 cardinal hospitals in Jeddah city of Saudi Arabia. The samples were examined for Trichomonas vaginalis, a prevalence rate of 12 (0.7%) were positive. Demographic characters did not show significant relation to the infection rate. All accompanied symptoms were insignificant (P>0.05) except the vaginal consistency which was significant (P<0.05). The studied risk factors were insignificant to the T. vaginalis infection. So, the symptoms were neither reliable to diagnose the vaginal trichomoniasis nor specific underlying factors provoke the infection.
