A sexually transmitted pathogen associated primarily with vaginal inflammation.

A

Trichomonas vaginalis

27
Q

Trichomonas vaginalis

T or F: Infection of male urethra and prostate is asymptomatic.

A

True the fire

28
Q

T or F: Males are often symptomatic carriers.

A

F

29
Q

The ova of the bladder parasite that has been associated with bladder cancer in other countries

A

Schistosoma haematobium

30
Q

The most common contaminant is the ova of this parasite usually from the perianal area

A

Enterobius vermicularis

31
Q

These are easily identified in the urine sediment by their oval, slightly tapered heads and long, flagella-like tails.

A

T

33
Q

When are spermatozoa occasionally found in the urine of men and women?

34
Q

T or F: Sperm is rarely of clinical significance.

A

True the fire

35
Q

In what case is sperm a case of clinical significance?

A

Positive

37
Q

A protein material produced by the glands and epithelial cells of the lower genitourinary tract and the RTE cells

A

Mucus

38
Q

Immunologic analysis has shown that this is a major constituent of mucus

A

Uromodulin (Tamm Horsfall protein)

39
Q

A glycoprotein excreted by the RTE cells of the distal convoluted tubules and upper collecting ducts

Rare, few, moderate, or many per low power field

42
Q

T or F: More frequently present in male urine specimens.

A

F

Female yan and they’re increased in vaginal contamination

43
Q

Mucus or Mucus Threads

T or F: They are of clinical significance in females, but not in males.

A

F

They’re of no clinical significance in both
