When do people get the HPV vaccine?
ages 9-14: 2 doses 6-12 months apart
ages 15-26: 3 doses 0,1,6 months apart
What are the 5Ps of risk assessment for STIs?
partners practices prevention of pregnancy prevention of STIs past hx of STIs
Chlamydia tachomatis
obligate intercellular bacterial parasite
less transmissible than GC
transmitted by sexual contact and perinatally
many men and most women are asymptomatic
high incidence of co-infection with N/gonorrhea
What is the clinical manifestations of Chlamydia?
incubation 7-14 days
Men:
urethritis - dysuria, mild urethral discharge (less purulent than GC)
complications: epididymitis, prostatitis, procitis, can cause strictures, abscessess
Women:
cervicitis - mild discharge, urethritis - dysuria, mild urethral discharge
complications: endometritis, salpingitis, PID
pharyngitis
reactive arthritis
in infants: conjunctivitis, PNA (prophylaxis treatment at birth)
Lymphogranuloma venereum
endemic in africa, SE asia, caribbean
primary lesion: asymptomatic papule or ulcer, heals rapidly, occurs 3-30 days post infection
secondary: days to weeks - adenopathy
Lymphogranuloma venereum
seen, but rare, with chlamydia
endemic in africa, SE asia, caribbean
primary lesion: asymptomatic papule or ulcer, heals rapidly, occurs 3-30 days post infection
secondary: days to weeks - adenopathy
How do you dx chlamydia?
NAAT - nucleic acid amplification tests
DFA - direct fluorescent antibody
What is the treatment for chlamydia?
azithromycin 1g single dose treatment
doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 7 days (not in pregnancy –remember doxy effects teeth of children)
for LGV treat for at least 3 weeks
Neisseria gonorrheae
gram negative intracellular diplococci
more cases reported in men
transmitted perinatal and sexual contact
What is the clinical manifestation of neisseria gonorrheae?
incubation 2-10 days
men: purulent discharge, dysuria, urethritis, or may be asymptomatic
women: vaginal discharge, dysuria, cervicitis, 90% may be asymptomatic
anorectal gonorrhea: proctitis, purulent discharge
pharyngeal disease
conjunctivitis in the newborn: purulent exudate within a week of delivery
co-infection with chlamydia 10-15% of pts
in most cases sxs resolves without tx
Complications of gonorrhea
10-20% ascending infection: PID, endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess
acute epididymitis
disseminated disease “arthritis dermatitis syndrome”
How do you dx gonorrhea?
NAAT
gram said: specific for genital infections in male
What is the treatment of gonorrhea?
Ceftriaxone 250mg IM + 1g Azithromycin PO
alternative:
cefixime 400mg PO + 1gm Azithromycin PO
risk of resistance coming
PID risk factors
cigarette smoking high frequency of intercourse multiple partners new sexual partner within 1 months of sxs onset recent hx of douching IUD young age at first intercourse
What is the clinical manifestation of PID?
fever >101 pelvic pain cervical motion tenderness (chandelere sign) adnexal tenderness cervical discharge
How do you dx PID?
clinical presentation
WBC >20,000
ESR >15
What is the gold standard to detect chlamydia or GC?
PCR
sample can be done with a first-catch urine or a cervical swab
other options:
gram stain cultured on chocolate agar
