A

3% in females and <1% in males

lower genital trat - bartholinitis, tysonitis, periurethral anscess, rectal abscess, epididymitis, urethral stricture

upper genital tract - endometritis, PID, hydrosalpinx, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, prostatitis

19

A

3% in females and <1% in males

lower genital trat - bartholinitis, tysonitis, periurethral anscess, rectal abscess, epididymitis, urethral stricture

upper genital tract - endometritis, PID, hydrosalpinx, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, prostatitis

20
Q

dx of G

A

microscopy - urethral 90-95% sensitivity, endocervical 37-50% sensitivity

culture >95% sensitivity (male urethra), 80-92% sensative (female endocx)

NAATs>96% sensitiivty (both in symp and asymp)

21
Q

rx of G

A

ceftriaxone 500mg IM 1st line
cefixime 400mg PO - if IM injection contra indicated or refused

azithromycin 1g given regardless of chlamydia result

test of cure in all px

22
Q

genital herpes pattern

A

primary infection
non primary first episode
recurrent infection

23
Q

GH primary infection incub
duration
symptoms

A

3-6 days
14-21 days

blistering and ulceration of the external genitalia
pain
external dysuria
vaginal or urethral discharge
local lymphadenopathy
fever and myalgia
24
Q

recurrent episodes GH
more common with what
mis dx as what
symptoms

A

more common with HSV2

thrush

unilateral small blisters and ulcers, minimal systemic symptoms

resolves within 5-7 days

25
Q

management of GH

A
swab base of ulcer for HSV PCR
oral acyclovir
consider topical lidocaine if painful 
saline bathing 
analgesia
26
Q

viral shedding common with which type
when
who
reduced by what

A

following HSV 2 is commoner than for HSV 1

more frequent in the first year of infection

more individuals with frequent recurrences

reduced by suppressive therapy

27
Q

HPV is the commonest what

life time risk of acquiring it

A

viral STI in the UK

80%

28
Q
HPV genotypes
total
certain 
low risk
high risk
A

> 170
40 infect anogenital epithelium
6, 11, 42, 43, 44
16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 51, 52, 66

29
Q

HPV transmission

incub

A

80% of the population are exposed
10% harbour detectable infection
1% develop anogentail warts

likely to have acquired form asymp partner

incub 3 weeks to 9 months

30
Q

HPV immunology

A

spontaneous clearance of warts 20-34%
clearance with treatment 60%
persistence despite treatment 20%

31
Q

anogenital warts caused by which type of HPV

A

> 90% by 6/11

32
Q

HPV treatment

A

podophyllotoxin (wart icon) - cytotoxic, not licensed for extra genital warts

iminquimod - immune modifier, for all anogenital warts

cryotherapy - cytolytic can require repeat treatments

electrocautery

33
Q

HPV vaccination

A

MSM and HIV+ included

34
Q

syphillis transmission

classification

A

sexual contact, transplacental/during birth, blood transfusions, non sexual contact

congenital, acquired

35
Q

acquired syphilis types of infections

A

early have primary, secondary and early latent

late non infectious have late latent and tertiary

36
Q

primary syphilis incub period
lesion
sites
other signs

A

9-90 days (mean of 21days)
lesions - primary chancre - painless, appear at site of inoculation
sites are genital 90% of the time

non tender local lymphadenopathy

37
Q

secondary syphilis

38
Q

dx of syphilis

A

demonstration of trepnonema palladium from lesions of infected LNs - dark field microscopy, PSCR

early - 2.4 MU benzathine penicillin x1

late 2.4 MU benzathine pencilline x3

until RPA is negative to serofast
tires should decrease fourfold by 3-6 months in early
serological relate/reinfection if titres increase by fourfold
