STI Flashcards
STI incidence
age 15-24 make up 27% sexual active
50% of STIs
4 of top 10 reportable diseases are STDs and are
Chalmydia, gonorrhea, AIDS, syphillis
HSV/ HPV NOT REPORTABLE
Youth risk factors STI
women (higher susceptibility) insufficient screening confidentiality concern lack of access multiple partners
General STI risk factors
young age sex adolescence multiple/new partners drug ETOH cervical etiology (OCP) unprotected prior hx poor condom use men with men, sex workers, imprisoned sexual abuse
Chlamydia trachamatis
Transmission:
Incubation:
Transmission: sexual or birth
Incubation: 1-3 weeks before symptoms, sometimes no symptoms
Most common bacterial STD?
Chlamydia
Chlamydia Symptoms
Male:
Female:
PE:
Male: Reiters (conjuctivitis, urethritis, arthritis, skin lesions), epididymitis, proctitis, THICK DISCHARGE dysuria
Female: cervicitis, urethritis, PID, dysuria, dysparunia, post-coital bleeding*, irregular bleeding, adominal pain, rectal pain
PE:: BEEFY RED CERVIX, THICK YELLOW DISCHARGE, cmt, friable cervix
Chlamydia higher prevalnce than incidence because
asymptomatic
Chlamydia
Diagnosis:
Screening:
Diagnosis: culture (gen-probe DNA, aptima combo 2 for G/C- newer more specific, first catch urine- dirty urine, no wipes, serology not helpful, wet prep- elevated WBC
Screening: women annual 25 risk
all pregnant women
Men: 25 new partner high risk
Male diagnosis: urine
Chlamydia in mouth:
white plaque formations
Chlamydia treatment:
Alternative:
pregnancy:
children:
Azithroymcin 1 gm PO stat or
Doxy 100 mg BID X 7d
Alternative:
Erythromycin
Erythromycin ethysuccinate
Ofloxacin
Pregnancy: Azithromycin 1g or Amoxicillin 500 TID x 7 d
Children: Emycin x 14 d
Gen probe use
insert 2-4 cm best time not voided for an hour
in place 15-20 seconds
Chlamydia education f/u
abstain 7 days after tx starts partners within 60 days need tx reportable TOC if emycin or pregnant or sx counsel hiv/hep/rpr testing partner therapy
Neisseria Gonorrhea
increase in:
transmitted:
adolescence, young adults, AA
sexually
Gonorrhea
PE:
THICK PROFUSE YELLOW/GREEN MUCUS DISCHARGE
not as red as chlamydia
adnexal tenderness
friable cervix, CMT
- 45% asymptomatic (less than chlamydia)
post-coital bleeding, pain lower abdomen, dysparunia, dysuria, urethritis, cervicitis, proctitis, epidiymitis, penile edema, bartholin/skene infection
Gonorrhea can also see
abscess, pediatric conjunctivitis thick copious mucus d/c
Gonorrhea diagnosis
Screening
Nucleic acid amplification (NAAT)- genetic material (via dirty urine or body fluids)
Gonorrhea culture- plates on culture
CBC (increased, not best criteria)
Screening: all 25 new multiple partners pregnant women high risk behaviors
Gonorrhea treatment
Alternative?
Allergy?
Children?
*changes every couple years because of resistance
Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM PLUS Azithromycin 1g
to cover chlamydia
Alternative: cefixime 400 mg x1 + azithromycin
Allergy- gemifloxacin + Azithro 2gm!
Children- cefrtiaxone 125 mg IM (eval syphillis and chlamydia)
Gonorrhea f.u and education
TOC 1 week after tx (consult infectious disease) BECAUSE OF RESISTANCE
partners within 60 days
reportable
abstain intercourse until TOC
PID Incidence Infection of STI's associated with: particular risk factor:
- 1 million each year
- upper genital tract: uterine lining, connective tissue around uterus, fallopian tubes, abdominal cavity, tubo-ovarian
- Chlamydia, gonorrhea, BV
- douching
If sx of vaginal infection + fever what do you do?
treat PID
PID presentation
UTI sx Abdominal pain painful sex adnexal tenderness postcoital bleeding fever CMT Fitz-hugh curtis: 20% RUQ pain dt peri-hepatitis (inflammation connective tissue of liver)
PID dx
Cultures CBC HCG r/o ectopic (amenorrhea, tenderness) US- depending on severity UA
PID tx
Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM
Doxycycline 100 mg BID x 14d (used to be az)
With or without Flagyl 500 BID x14d
OR
Cefoxitin 2gr IM + Probenecid 1g PO
Doxy like above
With or without flagyl
PID inpatient for who?
pregnant do not respond within 72 hours fever hemodynamically unstable CBC inability to tolerate oral, swallow, noncompliance, n/v, fever tubo-ovarian abscess
Syphillis Causative organism? incidence is \_\_\_? Groups at high risk? Incubation?
- bacteria Treponema pallidum spirochete*
- increasing incidence
- Men with men: AA, more in elderly than young
- 10-90 days incubation 3 weeks!!!
Syphillis symptoms PRIMARY
- painless unnoticed ulcer with raised border, firm round
- lasts 3-6 weeks goes away regardless if tx
Syphillis symptoms SECONDARY
-rash on palms and soles (maculopapular, scaly not pruritis)
- mucocutaneous lesions- mouth, vagina, anus
- fever, alopecia, adenopathy
- can occur immediately after or 2 years after transmission
- malaise
progresses to latent/late stage disease
Syphillis symptoms TERTIARY
-occurs 3-15 years after transmission
3 forms:
-Gummatous- soft tissue masses primarily face, lungs, skin, bone, liver
-Neurosyphillis- CBS balance dementia seizures
-Cardiovascular syphillis- aoritis aortic aneurysm
- Exam:
Screening (just came in and got testing)
Early latent: + serology, 1 yr exposure
Exam: adenopathy, alopecia, ulcerative lesions
