Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida albicans in low-risk patients treated at a first level clinic (primary health care represents the first level of contact of individuals, families, and the community with the system national health).
Using a cross-sectional study in patients treated in clinical laboratory of the Sanitary District no.
7 of the city of Orizaba during the months June-July, 252 urine samples were collected for the identification of T.
vaginalis and C.
albicans by PCR.
Furthermore, we analyzed the sociodemographic characteristics of the studied population.
We observed an overall prevalence of 23.41% (95% CI 22.10–24.72) for T.
vaginalis and 38.88% (95% CI 37.73–40.03) for C.
albicans.
There was also presence of coinfection in 14.28% (95% CI 13.10–15.46), which was associated with the presence of pain.
Most of the positive cases were observed in women house-maker (80%, 95% CI 50.36–48.98).
The results of this study provide evidence that the majority of positive cases observed in the studied population are presented in an asymptomatic form and usually are not associated with any risk factor.
