ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT We describe a case of persistent 5-nitroimidazole-resistant trichomoniasis cured after 14 days of oral secnidazole and intravaginal boric acid. Secnidazole may be an important treatment option for resistant trichomoniasis, particularly in women who fail other regimens, including higher doses of oral metronidazole and tinidazole for longer durations of time.
