Introduction
Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis ) is a common protozoan
parasite that causes sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide.
It is estimated that there are approximately 156 million new cases
reported each year worldwide, affecting both men and women (1). Many
patients with T. vaginalis infection experience dysuria and
urethral discharge. In males, infections are often asymptomatic but can
occasionally lead to mild prostatitis or urethritis (2). T.
vaginalis should be considered in sexually active males who have
urethral symptoms or inflammation but no evidence of discharge during
physical examination (3). While non-sexual transmission of T.
vaginalis is rare, sexual activity is believed to be the primary mode
of transmission (4). This extracellular parasite uses epithelial cells
for adhesion to infiltrate the human host, with the urogenital tract
being the typical host tissue (5). In this case report, we present the
case of a 95-year-old man with a T. vaginalis infection that does
not affect the expected urogenital tract.
