LAB ALERT: Trichomonas vaginalis Detected in a 57 year old Male.

During routine urine microscopy, laboratories sometimes detect a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. This organism causes trichomoniasis, a common but often overlooked sexually transmitted infection.

FOR THE PUBLIC

Many men may not know they have this infection because symptoms can be mild or absent. However, some people may experience:

✓ Pain or burning when urinating
✓ Irritation in the urinary tract.

Early testing and proper treatment from a health professional can resolve the infection and prevent spreading it to partners.

✓ If you notice unusual urinary symptoms, visit a health facility for testing.
✓ Avoid self-medication.
✓Partner treatment is important.

FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS & LAB COLLEAGUES

In male urine samples, T. vaginalis may be identified through:

a) FRESH URINE WET MOUNT MICROSCOPY

✓Motile, flagellated protozoa with characteristic jerky movement during examination of urine sediment

Because male infections are often underdiagnosed, laboratory detection plays a critical role in patient management and STI control.

Laboratories Save Lives Through Early Detection.
Accurate microscopy and timely reporting help clinicians manage infections effectively and protect community health.

At all costs let's not encourage patients to self medicate.
