Toxicogenetic evaluation of metronidazole in the treatment of women infected with Trichomonas vaginalis
Samples of peripheral blood were collected once from non-smoking women who were healthy (controls) and twice (immediately before and immediately after 7 days of treatment with metronidazole at 500 mg/day) from non-smoking women infected with Trichomonas vaginalis. Lymphocyte cultures were prepared a...
