Cure of <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> using dequalinium chloride in a patient with an allergy to metronidazole
Given limited treatment options for <i>T</i><i>richomonas vaginalis</i> (TV) in patients with metronidazole allergy and waiting times for desensitization leaving patients in significant discomfort, it is imperative to find alternative options. This case study highlights an example of cure of TV using 24 nightly dequalinium chloride pessaries in a patient with metronidazole allergy, thus presenting a potential treatment option for further study.
