Abstract

Trichomonas vaginalis is a common cause of symptomatic vaginitis in women. Trichomoniasis occurs more frequently in people with multiple sexual partners. Women often present with vaginal discharge, painful intercourse, urinary tract infection symptoms, vaginal itching, or pelvic pain. The strawberry cervix is a finding upon physical examination where the cervix has an erythematous, punctate, and papilliform appearance. The strawberry cervix is named because of its superficially similar appearance to a strawberry. As opposed to a more general inflammation of the cervix found in cervicitis, the strawberry cervix appearance is considered to be selectively associated with Trichomoniasis. The clinical image of Trichomonas vaginalis is rarely reported. We present a clinical image of the strawberry cervix in a woman diagnosed to have trichomonas vaginalis.
