摘要：
Our goal was to determine the prevalence of Trichomonas oaginalis and its associated risk factors in parturient women aged 15-24 years attending Brazilian public maternity units. Participants answered a demographic, behavioral, and clinical data questionnaire. A sample of urine was screened for T. oaginalis. A total 299 women participated in this study. The prevalence rate of T. oaginalis was 7.7% (95% CI: 4.7-10.7%). The factors associated with T. oaginalis were use of illicit drugs [OR = 4.70 (95% CI: 1.63-13.56, p = 0.004)] and not attending antenatal care [OR= 5.15 (95% CI: 1.15-23.25, p = 0.032)]. These data demonstrate that it is important to discuss how to include routine screening for T. oaginalis during antenatal care in Brazil. (C) 2014 Elsevier Editora Ltda. All rights reserved.
