Book excerpt: One in five people in the United States had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) on any given day in 2018, totaling nearly 68 million estimated infections. STIs are often asymptomatic (especially in women) and are therefore often undiagnosed and unreported. Untreated STIs can have severe health consequences, including chronic pelvic pain, infertility, miscarriage or newborn death, and increased risk of HIV infection, genital and oral cancers, neurological and rheumatological effects. In light of this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through the National Association of County and City Health Officials, commissioned the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to examine the prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections in the United States and provide recommendations for action. In 1997, the Institute of Medicine released a report, The Hidden Epidemic: Confronting Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Although significant scientific advances have been made since that time, many of the problems and barriers described in that report persist today; STIs remain an underfunded and comparatively neglected field of public health practice and research. The committee reviewed the current state of STIs in the United States, and the resulting report, Sexually Transmitted Infections: Advancing a Sexual Health Paradigm, provides advice on future public health programs, policy, and research.

This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report will be used by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to update its 2005 recommendation on screening for gonorrhea and its 2007 recommendation on screening for chlamydia. Gonorrhea is an STI caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a gram-negative intracellular diplococcus that infects the mucosal epithelium of the genital tract. Other sites of infection include the conjunctiva, oropharynx, and rectum. Infection with N. gonorrhoeae often leads to local inflammation and, in women, can ascend the urogenital tract and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Infants born to infected mothers may contract gonococcal eye disease in the first few days of life. Chlamydia is an STI caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Most C. trachomatis strains infect the epithelial cells of the genital tract, causing inflammation that may be asymptomatic or present as erythema, edema, and mucopurulent discharge. Infections of the rectum can cause proctitis, while infections of the oropharynx are typically asymptomatic. Inflammation damages the epithelium and leads to scar formation. In women, scarring may ultimately lead to fallopian tube occlusion and infertility years after active infection. Infants born to infected mothers may contract chlamydial eye disease and pneumonia. In 2005, the USPSTF issued a recommendation to screen for gonorrhea in all sexually active women at increased risk for infection, including pregnant women. Women at increased risk include those who are younger than age 25 years; live in high prevalence communities; have a history of gonococcal infection or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs); have new or multiple sex partners; or engage in inconsistent condom use, sex work, or drug use. The USPSTF recommended against routine screening in men and nonpregnant women at low risk for infection, and found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening in high-risk men and low-risk pregnant women. In 2007, the USPSTF issued a recommendation to screen for chlamydia in all sexually active nonpregnant women younger than age 25 years and in older high-risk nonpregnant women (i.e., those who have a history of chlamydial infection or other STIs, have new or multiple sex partners, or engage in inconsistent condom use or sex work). The age specification for screening in the 2007 recommendation differed from the previous recommendation (25 years or younger) in order to align with evidence on screening, including national surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The USPSTF also recommended screening in pregnant women younger than age 25 years and in older high-risk pregnant women, and recommended against routine screening in low-risk women age 25 years or older regardless of pregnancy status. The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening in men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Male genital disorders represent a common issue in medical practice, especially in the dermatological setting. Correct clinical evaluation of these disorders is essential when addressing the diagnosis, which in some cases may require histopathological confirmation. Depending on the disease, early diagnosis may be not only lifesaving, but also of fundamental importance to the planning of successful treatment. This atlas introduces the most common penile diseases, along with more rarely encountered ones. It provides invaluable guidance on clinical diagnosis by highlighting prominent clinical features and presenting particular videodermatoscopy findings when these are indicative of the diagnosis. In addition, for each condition the most appropriate treatment is proposed, taking into account recent therapeutic advances of proven benefit.

Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: Previous research has supported screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia in asymptomatic sexually active women, including pregnant women, who are younger than age 25 years or at increased risk, but not other patient populations. PURPOSE: To update the 2005 and 2007 systematic reviews for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force on screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia in men and women, including pregnant women and adolescents. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE (2004 to June 13, 2014), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (through May 2014), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (through May 2014), Health Technology Assessment Database (through May 2014), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (through May 2014), and reference lists. STUDY SELECTION: English-language trials and observational studies about screening effectiveness, test accuracy, and screening harms. DATA EXTRACTION: One investigator extracted data on participants, study design, analysis, followup, and results and a second investigator confirmed key data. Investigators independently dual-rated study quality and applicability using established criteria. DATA SYNTHESIS: Screening a subset of asymptomatic young women for chlamydia in a good-quality trial did not statistically significantly reduce pelvic inflammatory disease over the following year (relative risk, 0.39 [95% CI, 0.14 to 1.08]), while one previous trial reported a reduction. An observational study evaluating a risk prediction tool to identify persons with chlamydia in high-risk populations had low predictive ability and applicability. In 10 new studies of asymptomatic participants, nucleic acid amplification tests demonstrated sensitivity of 86% or greater and specificity of 97% or greater for diagnosing gonorrhea and chlamydia, regardless of specimen type or test. LIMITATIONS: Studies of screening benefits and harms were lacking for men, pregnant women, adolescents, and subgroups. Only screening tests and methods cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for current clinical practice were included to determine diagnostic accuracy, excluding rectal, pharyngeal, and self-administered specimens obtained outside a clinical setting. CONCLUSIONS: Chlamydia screening in young women may reduce pelvic inflammatory disease. Nucleic acid amplification tests are accurate for diagnosing gonorrhea and chlamydia in asymptomatic persons using various types of specimens. Research is needed on the effectiveness of screening to reduce adverse health outcomes in specific population groups, effectiveness of different screening strategies, and adverse effects of screening to further inform practice guidelines.

Download or read book The Hidden Epidemic written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-28 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has the dubious distinction of leading the industrialized world in overall rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), with 12 million new cases annually. About 3 million teenagers contract an STD each year, and many will have long-term health problems as a result. Women and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to these diseases and their health consequences. In addition, STDs increase the risk of HIV transmission. The Hidden Epidemic examines the scope of sexually transmitted infections in the United States and provides a critical assessment of the nation's response to this public health crisis. The book identifies the components of an effective national STD prevention and control strategy and provides direction for an appropriate response to the epidemic. Recommendations for improving public awareness and education, reaching women and adolescents, integrating public health programs, training health care professionals, modifying messages from the mass media, and supporting future research are included. The book documents the epidemiological dimensions and the economic and social costs of STDs, describing them as "a secret epidemic" with tremendous consequences. The committee frankly discusses the confusing and often hypocritical nature of how Americans deal with issues regarding sexualityâ€"the conflicting messages conveyed in the mass media, the reluctance to promote condom use, the controversy over sex education for teenagers, and the issue of personal blame. The Hidden Epidemic identifies key elements of effective, culturally appropriate programs to promote healthy behavior by adolescents and adults. It examines the problem of fragmentation in STD services and provides examples of communities that have formed partnerships between stakeholders to develop integrated approaches. The committee's recommendations provide a practical foundation on which to build an integrated national program to help young people and adults develop habits of healthy sexuality. The Hidden Epidemic was written for both health care professionals and people without a medical background and will be indispensable to anyone concerned about preventing and controlling STDs.

Download or read book Laboratory Diagnosis of Sexually Transmitted Diseases written by E. van Dyck and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 1999 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual provides an authoritative guide to standard laboratory procedures for detecting and diagnosing sexually transmitted diseases. Addressed to clinical microbiologists and medical technologists, the manual is designed to serve as a practical bench aid, tuned to the needs and capacities of laboratories at different levels in the health system. Although the standard procedures described have universal relevance, particular attention is given to conditions in developing countries, where rapid transport of specimens may not be possible and cost factors may be decisive. Recommended procedures, tests, and techniques are supported by close to 150 references. Noting the constraints on staff and resources faced by most laboratories throughout the world, the manual concentrates on tests known to yield essential diagnostic information. Standard antimicrobial susceptibility tests are described for those diseases where drug resistance is a problem. Although the major emphasis is on procedures for diagnosis, case-finding, and test-of-cure, some procedures useful in epidemiological research are also included. The manual has nine chapter covering the full range of sexually transmitted diseases: gonorrhoea "Chlamydia trachomatis "infection, syphilis, genital herpes, chancroid granuloma inguinale, vaginitis in adults, human papillomavirus infection, and human immunodeficiency virus. Each chapter opens with a brief description of the disease and the principal laboratory approaches to diagnosis, followed by detailed advice on the collection and transport of specimens. Against this background, all relevant laboratory methods, from microscopy, culture and non-culture techniques to serology and the use of commercial test kits, are described in detail, with colour plates used to illustrate selected procedures and results. Apart from providing detailed step-by-step instructions for each procedure, the manual offers abundant practical advice on the selection of tests, their comparative sensitivity, and specificity, the degree of skill required, the correct interpretation of results, and common errors and how to avoid them. The chapter on HIV infection reproduces the latest joint UNAIDS and WHO recommendations for the selection and use of HIV antibody tests. Further practical guidance for each of these diseases is provided in three annexes, which summarize appropriate diagnostic tests at different levels of the laboratory system, describe the media, reagents, and stains required for the tests, and list all the basic products needed to prepare essential reagents and media.
