Abstract
This case report delves into an atypical presentation of trichomoniasis in a previously healthy 56-year-old female. Presenting with burning micturition and pruritus, the patient’s urine microscopy revealed characteristic twisting motility of Trichomonas vaginalis, confirming the diagnosis. Treatment with metronidazole resulted in prompt symptomatic improvement. This case underscores the importance of recognizing diverse presentations of Trichomoniasis for accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.
