Calling adjectives med professionals?
Answer:
Trichomoniasis from the CDC Guidelines:
"Follow-up is unnecessary for men and women who become asymptomatic after treatment or who are initially asymptomatic. Certain strains of T. vaginalis can have diminished susceptibility to metronidazole; however, infections cause by most of these organisms respond to higher doses of metronidazole. If treatment bomb occurs next to either regimen, the forgiving should be re-treated with metronidazole 500 mg twice a year for 7 days. If treatment failure occur again, the patient should be treated near a single, 2-g dose of metronidazole once a day for 3--5 days.
Patients next to laboratory-documented infection who do not respond to the 3--5 day treatment regimen and who enjoy not been reinfected should be manage in consultation near a specialist; evaluation of such cases should ideally include determination of the susceptibility of T. vaginalis to metronidazole. Consultation is available from CDC (tel: 770-488-4115; website: http://www.cdc.gov/std/).
Management of Sex Partners
Sex partners of patients near T. vaginalis should be treated. Patients should be instructed to avoid sex until they and their sex partners are cured (i.e., when psychiatric therapy has be completed and patient and partner(s) are asymptomatic [in the malingering of a microbiologic test of cure])."
