Iatrogenic transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis by a traditional healer.

Kevin Peterson1, Diarre Drame.   

Abstract

A woman presenting to an STI/HIV clinic in The Gambia with T vaginalis and a history of a digital vaginal 'exam' by a traditional healer implies non-sexual transmission of trichomonas between patients and reinforces the role of practitioner hygiene in preventing spread of infections.
