Sumario:OBJECTIVES: We report on a heterosexual male with sore throat diagnosed as oral Trichomoniasis vaginalis. METHODS: A rapid strep test and throat culture were negative. An oropharyngeal swab tested positive for Trichomonas vaginalis using a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A detailed sexual history and oropharyngeal swab testing enabled the diagnosis of oral Trichomoniasis vaginalis in a male patient reporting oral sex with a recently infected female. The patient was successfully treated with metronidazole 2 g orally.
