25
trichomonas sx in men
- 75% asymptomatic - spont resolution within 10 d but can persist for months - mucopurulent urethral d/c - dysuria, burning - mild pruritis
26
diagnosis of trichomonas
- microscopy shows jerky/ spinning protozoa - pH > 4.5 - NAAT- gold std
27
management of trichomonas
- flagyl or tinidazole 2g single dose - treat partners - abstain from sex X 7 days
28
gonorrhea
- 2nd most commonly reported communicable disease/ STI - cervicitis in women - urethritis in men - extragintal infections- pharynx and rectum
29
risk factors for gonorrhea
- recent new sex partner, multiple partners - unmarried - young age - minority - low education - low SES - substance abuse - hx of gonorrhea, HIV
30
clinical manifestations of gonorrhea in women
- cervicitis* - urethritis- more in men - 70% asymptomatic - pruritis - mucopurulent d/c - pain is atypical unless PID
31
clinical manifestations of gonorrhea in men
- urethritis - mucupurulent d/c - dysuria - epdidymitis will dev if not treated - majority of men are symptomatic
32
diagnosis of gonorrhea
- genital swab in females - urine cx in men - NAAT- quicker but does not test susceptibility
33
treatment for gnorrhea
- ceftrixone PLUS azithromycin
34
chlamydia
- most commonly reported bacterial infx in U.S. - causes cervicitis and urethritis - mostly asymptomatic - 2X more common in women
35
risk factors for chlamydia
- age < 25 - new partner or more than 1 partner in last mo - hx of prev chlamydia or STIs - inconsistent condom use - ethnic groups - special pops
36
screening for chlamydia
- sexually active women 25 and under annually - over 25 based on risk - pregnant women - MSM- annually - men entering jail - military - new partner
37
clinical manifestations for chlamydia in women
- cervix affected - majority asymptomatic - nonspecific sx - change in vaginal d/c - cervical bleeding - frequency, dysuria - UA pos, Cx neg
38
clinical manifestations for chlamydia in men
- urethritis - mucoid or watery d/c - dysuria
39
diagnosis of chlamydia
- vaginal swabs in women - urine for men - NAAT
40
treatment of chlamydia
- azithromycin | - doxy
41
pelvic inflammatory disease
- acute infection of upper genital tract in women - uterus - ovaries - fallopian tube - endometrium - intiated by sexually transmitted agent
42
what disease causes more severe PID
- gonorrhea
43
risk factors for PID
- multiple sex partners - younger age - partners with STI or prev hx of STI - prev hx of PID - AA and black caribbean
44
clinical manifestations of PID
- usu acute onset - sx vary from mild vague pelvic sx to tubo-ovarian abscess - rarley fatal intra-abd sepsis - liver inflammation- perihepatitis - lower abd or pelvic pain, worsens with intercourse - onset of pain during or shortly after menses
45
dx of PID
- pelvic organ tenderness - CT if uncertain dx or complications - US - presumptive dx is enough to warrant empiric tx due to reprod sequelae - temp > 101 - abnormal d/c - WBC on microscopy - documentation of GC/ chlamydia infection
46
what causes syphilis
- treponema pallidium | - spirochete
47
how is syphilis transmitted
- direct contact with infectious lesion | - crosses placenta -> fetal infection
48
stages of syphilis
- early- occurs weeks to months after infection - early subdivided into primary, secondary, or early latent - late- untreated pts that go onto dev complications - late subdivided into tertiary or late latent
49
clinical manifestations of early syphilis
- chancre- painless ulcer | - bilateral LAD
50
secondary sx of early syphilis
- fever, HA - LAD - malaise, anorexia, weight loss - sore throat - rash*- maculopapular on soles of feet and trunk
51
clinical manifestations of late syphilis
- CV syphilis- esp aortitis - gummatous syphilis- nodular lesions - CNS paresthesias- tabes dorsalis
52
tertiary syphilis
- late who are sympomatic with CV or gummatous disease
53
latent syphilis
- asymptomatic but still infected | - not considered infectious
54
who to test for syphilis
- painless genital ulcer - rash on palms and soles - neuro sx without alternative etiology - partner with early syphilis - MSM - HIV infected - high risk sexual behavior - incarceration - sex workers
55
what are the tests for syphilis
- nontreponemal - treponemal - both are serum tests
56
non-treponemal test
- initial screening for syphilis in asymptomatic pts - non-specific, measures antibodies - reported as titer - can be used to monitor tx - RPR, VRDL, TRUST
57
treponemal test
- used as confirmatory test when non-treponemal is positive - reported as reactive or nonreactive - usu remain positive for life - FTA-ABS, TP-EIA
58
treatment of syphilis
- early= pen G IM X 1 - late= pen G IM X once weekly X 3 weeks - prednisone X 3 days if CV syphilis
59
treatment for neurosyphilis
- pen G IV q 4 hours 10-14 days or as cont infusion - cefriaxone - doxy
60
HPV cutaneous types
- types 1 and 2 | - assoc with plantar and common hand warts
61
HPV mucosal types
- types 6, 11, 16, or 18 | - assoc with genital warts, precancerous or cancerous lesions
62
risk factors for HPV
- sexual activity - increased number of partners - vaginal and anal intercourse - MSM higher risk for anal infection - heterosexual men higher risk oropharyngeal infection
63
vaccines for HPV in kids 11-12
- 2 shouts 6-12 mo apart
64
vaccines for HPV in kids over 14
- 3 shots over 6 mo
65
diagnosis of HPV
- pap smear to look for abnormal/ cancerous cells - HPV test to look for virus - women < 21 no testing - women 21-29 PAP q 3 years - women 30-65 and HPV cotesting q5 years
66
clinical manifestations of HPV
- most asyptomatic - abnorm pap or pos HPV test may be first sign - vulvar/ vaginal warts - itchy and painful - most strains that cause cervical cancer dont cause warts
67
management of HPV
- no tx for virus | - monitor with PAP smears
68
diagnosis of herpes
- active lesions can be unroofed and sent for viral cx and PCR - serologic testing not commonly done - screening not recommended
69
who needs chronic suppressive therapy for herpes
- 6+ episodes per year
70
who needs episodic therapy for herpes
- 5 or less episodes per year
