Abstract

Seventy-three men with urogenital trichomonal infection were treated with a single daily dose of 1 g tinidazole or 1.5 g metronidazole. Both treatments gave satisfactory results. Wives who were also infected with Trichomonas vaginalis, were less likely to have a recurrence of the infection after their husbands had been given either drug.
