    A total of 489 pregnant women attended gynecologic and obstructive Department, Obari Hospital (during the period of middle of November 2007 to end of January 2008) for routine clinical examination. Among 489, 51 (10.42 %) were clinically diagnosed as having vaginitis with vaginal discharge and their vaginal swabs were screened for Trichomonas vaginalis using direct wet-mount microscopy. Only nine samples (1.84 %) were found positive for T. vaginalis. All these patients complained of vaginal discharge, burning, vulvar pruritis and showed a heavy infection of T. vaginalis (3 to 4 parasites per 40 X field).
