Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of trichomoniasis and associated co-infections in women treated at two health centers located in a municipality in the state of Pará and to correlate this information with sociodemographic variables. Methods: This is a retrospective, observational study, with a quantitative approach, carried out in two health units in the state of Pará, between March and December 2019. The sample consisted of 520 medical records of women attended between January 2012 to December 2017, aged between 18 and 55 years, showing a positive diagnosis for trichomoniasis and / or other infections.
Results: The prevalence of T. vaginalis recorded for both units was 0.96%. When associated with sociodemographic variables, they all resided in a municipality in the state of Pará and declared themselves brown; 0.58% were households, aged 28-32 years, married and denied the use of contraceptives; only 0.38% had completed high school. The prevalence of co-infections involving T. vaginalis was 1.02%. Conclusion: A low prevalence of trichomoniasis was identified in the municipality, but other STIs of high epidemiological importance were also identified. In addition, the research brings a concern about the theme and an important scientific contribution, as it is the first investigation of the disease in the state of Pará and the second in the northern region of the country.
