Trichomonas vaginalis infestation in sexually abused girls. 1985

J G Jones, and T Yamauchi, and B Lambert

We report infection with Trichomonas vaginalis in four sexually abused girls; two of these patients are unique in that they were premenarchal. We discuss the clinical features in premenarchal and postmenarchal children and relate infection to the likelihood of prior sexual abuse.
