A

Plantar and facial warts

20
Q

Which serotypes causes warts on knees and fingers?

A

Serotypes of papillomavirus 2,3, and 10

21
Q

What causes Lymphogranuloma Venereum?

A

A type of Chlamydia bacteria that cause infection of mononuclear phagocytes in the lymphatic system.
(this is unlike genitourinary Chlamydia which infects squamocolumnar epithelial cells.)

22
Q

What is the most sensitive test for detecting Chlamydia or Gonococcal infections?

A

NAAT testing

23
Q

What treatment is recommended for Chlamydia?

Which is preferred if there are anorectal infections?

A

1G single dose of Azithromycin or Doxycycline 100MG BD PO for 7/7.

24
Q

What are the complications of Chlamydia?

A

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) –> Can lead to Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome, a complication of PID
Infertility
Ectopic Pregnancy
Neonatal conjunctivitis or Neonatal pnuemonia/RDS
Reactive arthritis

25
Q

What is the treatment for Gonorrhoea?

A

Single dose of Ceftriaxone 500MG IM + Single dose Azithromycin 1G PO

If IM is contraindicated, single dose Cefixime 400MG PO + Single dose Azithromycin 1G PO

If cephalosporins are contraindicated due to penicillin-allergy, Single dose Ciprofloxacin 500MG PO + Single dose Azithromycin 1G PO.

26
Q

What is the mainstay of syphilis diagnosis?

27
Q

What are the 2 types of serology testing for syphilis?

A

Non-treponemal serology and treponemal specific serology testings

28
Q

What is detected for in Non-Treponemal serology testing?

A

In non-treponemal serology testing, detection of antibodies to non-specific antigens such as Cardiolipin which is present in most patients with Syphilis

29
Q

What cream is prescribed for those with Genital Warts? What is the purpose served by the cream?

A

Imiquimod cream helps boost patient’s immune system to fight the genital warts

30
Q

How is Lymphogranuloma Venereum different from Chlamydia infection?

A

Lymphogranuloma Venereum: Chlamydia Trachomatis Serotype L1, L2 and L3 causes infection of mononuclear phagocytes in the lymphatic system.
However, in genitourinary Chlamydia, bacteria Chlamydia Trachomatis infects the squamocolumnar epithelium.
