Question

Question restatement: Trichomon/iasis is caused by a ___________ that causes a mal/odorous frothy yellow to green discharge, itching (pruritus), and burning.
Option 1: virus. While viruses can cause many infections, trichomoniasis is not caused by a virus. The characteristic malodorous frothy discharge and itching are features more aligned with a protozoan infection, not a viral one.
Option 2: protozoan parasite with a tail. This description fits Trichomonas vaginalis, the protozoan parasite responsible for trichomoniasis. It is flagellated (has a tail-like flagellum), which aligns with the clinical picture of trichomoniasis.
Option 3: bacteria. Bacterial infections can cause discharge, but trichomoniasis is not categorized as a bacterial infection; its etiologic agent is a protozoan. The typical discharge and pruritus are classic for Trichomonas rather than a bacterial pathogen.
Option 4: fungus. Fungal infections can cause itching and discharge in some contexts, but trichomoniasis is not fungal in origin. The hallmark organism is a flagellated protozoan, not a yeast or mold.
In summary, among the options, the description that correctly identifies the causative agent of trichomoniasis is a protozoan parasite with a tail, consistent with Trichomonas vaginalis.
