Abstract

This short paper discusses the implications of Trichomonas vaginalis infection of the genital tract in children with respect to suspected child abuse. Two case reports are described to illustrate the problems that can arise in the investigation of such cases T. vaginalis is usually transmitted sexually but the potential for non-sexual transmission does exist.
