[Trichomonas vaginalis - the culprit or the accomplice?]

Abstract

The case reports describes detection of Trichomonas vaginalis in a 34-year-old patient with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes and a subsequent C-section in week 25 of her pregnancy, with the presence of T. vaginalis not being the only risk factor for preterm labor. Although a rare finding in pregnant women, the presence of this microorganism must be considered in such situations.
