All the twenty eight patients were proven cases of Trichomonal Vaginitis from microscopy of cervical smears. Two grammes of Fasigyn were used as a single oral dose with yeast as Placebo. Twenty patients were originally treated with Fasigyn and eight received yeast. However two patients in the Fasigyn group absconded, but one later reported satisfactory results. The husbands of two others were untreated. Four patients had other vaginal infections. A microscopic cure rate of 100% and a corrected clinical cure rate of 93.3% was obtained using fasigyn.
