Abstract
T. vaginalis was recovered from 3 (1.7%) of 179 men with nongonococcal urethritis. Prostatitis was found in 11 (8%) of 138 of these men who had prostatic examinations; T. vaginalis was recovered from 2 of the 11. Serologic evidence (an indirect hemagglutination titer of .gtoreq. 1:80) was found in 20 (14%) of 146 men; 4 of the 20 had prostatitis and 2 of these had prostatitis associated with T. vaginalis. In 26 men with urethritis and prostatitis associated with T. vaginalis, the typical clinical presentation was persistent urethritis and/or prostatitis due to an antibiotic-resistant agent.
