[Urogenital trichomoniasis and vaginal mycosis in female offenders--a repeat study 20 years later].

The prevalence of urogenital trichomoniasis and vaginal mycosis in 698 female prison inmates in Bratislava was compared with the occurrence of the diseases recorded twenty years ago. The occurrence rate of urogenital trichomoniasis (40.97%) was only slightly reduced compared to the sixties (59.17%), yet it was still five times higher than in the current population. The occurrence rate of vaginal mycosis is much lower in delinquent women (2.3%) than in other women. Trichomonas vaginalis was most frequently present in the age group of 20-29 years (44.67%). All patients with urogenital trichomoniasis were cured with nitroimidazoles. The first treatment was successful in 98.25%, the second treatment with the same dose had a 100% efficacy. Repeated examination of 84 women after two months did not confirm the possibility of intramural infection.
