Bilateral conjunctivitis due to Trichomonas vaginalis without genital infection: An unusual presentation in an adult man

Abstract

We report an unusual case of extragenital infection with Trichomonas vaginalis of the conjunctiva of a 32-year-old man. Only one other similar case has been reported in the English language literature. The present report reinforces the widening pathologic spectrum of trichomonads in humans, especially in the context of emerging extragenital infections.
