Abstract
The identification and prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis infection in women was pursued, through the Babeş Papanicolau test collected at a gynaecology office, Baia Mare. During the research period (2020-2023), the identification of the etiological agents detected, the prevalence of contamination, the distribution by age groups, residence and level of studies were pursued. The data were centralized in tables, using the percentage calculation method, and the results were plotted. Out of a number of 2,531 investigated patients, 39 positive were diagnosed for parasitosis 2020 (2.76%), 2021 (1.73%), 2022 (1.10%), 2023 (0.65), decrease probably due to the pandemic.
