6 INTRODUCTION Sexual transmitted infections constituted one of the major health problems facing the world. Over recent years the prevalence of these diseases has increased at alarming rate. Prevalence 1in5 adult , 1in6 teenagers.

7 Cont. Some of these infections linked with cervical carcinoma and HIV infection. The factors Increase STDs: Short duration partners relationship. Increase in world population, increase in those at risk. Diverse sexual practices making diagnosis and treatment more complicated.

8 Cont. Increase mobility of population(contact tracing more difficult).
Incompliance use of barrier methods. Difficulties in relation to control include: Asymptomatic. Long interval between the person becoming infectious and becoming aware of having disease.

9 Cont. Some symptoms not related to genitalia.
Failure to produce an antibodies response sufficiently to protect against further infection. Poor heath (venereal diseases). High Risk Group: Age (60%). Prostitutes. Homosexual &Bisexual.

10 Estimated Burden of STDs in US
STD Incidence Prevalence Chlamydia million million Gonorrhea , Syphilis , Trichomoniasis 5 million HSV million million HPV million million Hepatitis B , ,000 HIV , ,000

11 Two basic types of STDs Bacterial : Viral Syphilis. Herpes simplex.
Gonorrhea Hepatitis B. Chlamydia HIV Chancroid HPV

12 How are STDs spread Skin to skin contact.
Oral sex, and kissing (herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, hepatitis B). Anal sex. Sexual intercourse. Drug abuse Sharing personal things(towels, shaving instrument).

13 How can STDs harm the body
By causing: Abnormal discharge. Abscess. Rashes. Blindness. Brain damage. Liver damage. Cancer

14 Cont. Pelvic inflammatory disease. Sterility in both. Tubal pregnancy.
Miscarriage. Still birth. Premature birth. Deformities(adult, newborns). Death(HIV, hepatitis B, and syphilis).

15 PREVENTION In Islamic public health measures:
Personal hygiene, marriage, banish with illegal sexual intercourse, religious values. In Bible public health measures are described to control the spread of the diseases (the suggestion of killing all women likely to be source of infection).

16 Cont. Know that sexual activity provides potential contact with STDs and precautions reduce risk. Avoid sexual intercourse with man who has discharge. Avoid unsafe sex practices. Use condom un till disease is fully treated. Periodic screening for STDs. Ask for partner’s cooperation.

17 CONT Recognize individuals at high risk.
When caring for patients use appropriate barrier precautions. Apply all universal precaution when expose to body fluids of high risk.

18 Pathological Vaginal Discharges
Candidiasis or moniliasis (thrush) : 2nd most common STDs Cause by; Candida Albicans is yeast – like fungus. The commonest form is vulvitis, often associated with Diabetes & pregnancy The feature: small spores Other sites: Nose, mouth, throat, skin and bowel.

19 Risk Factors Lower resistance to infection .(immunosuppressant therapy) Lowering of the vaginal PH.(by using antibiotic & combined oral contraceptive pills) Glycoseuria (High in pregnancy). Humidity and poor hygiene. K-Y jelly used for intercourse Women how use the diaphragm.

20 Cont. In men usually sexually transmitted but in women other factors should be consider. Diagnosis: Microscopic test: Gram- positive spores & mycelia can be detected. Swab for culture.

21 Signs and Symptoms Incubational period 1-90 days
In some women and most men are asymptomatic. Vulval pruritus (increased by warm). Vaginal discharge, white- cottage- cheese-like in consistency, it’s removal from the vaginal wall leaves a raw area Alternatively: Thin, watery or purulent discharge.

22 Cont. Dysuria. Dyspareunia.
In male small red spots or curd- like plagues. Treatment: 100mg clotrimazole pessary for 6 nights & 1%Clotrimazole cream for vulva and perineum 2-3 times daily.

23 Cont. Alternatively: 1-2 Nystatin pessary (100,000 i.u.) for 14 nights. Nystatin cream (100,000 i.u.) externally 2-4 times daily For male: Warm saline wash. Clotrimazol cream.

24 Nursing Care Advise: Use cotton underwear.
Avoid vaginal contamination after defecation. Use the pessary and cream over same time. Avoid humidity Treatment should continued during menstruation. Change method of contraceptive. Personal hygiene.

25 Trichomoniasis (‘Trike’ or T.V.)
One of the most commonest sexual transmitted diseases. Causative organism: Trichomonas vaginalis, an oval flagellate protozoon. Transmission: 1- sexual intercourse contaminated towels infects the lower genito-urinary tract.

26 Signs & symptoms Some are Asymptomatic. Incubation period 4-21 days.
Vaginal discharge: - offensive(fishy smelling). - Watery, yellow-green and frothy. -possibly profuse. Vulval pruritus and inflammation.

27 Cont. Dysuria. In men: un common Urethral discharge.
Prostatitis(rare). Balanitis(rare). Dyspareunia in both.

28 Diagnosis Microscopic test: the organism and the movement of it’s four flagellate and undulating membrane can be seen. Swab for culture. By examination: running finger along the anterior vaginal wall the examiner may milk discharge from skene’s tubules.

29 Treatment 400 mg tablets metronidazole twice /day after meals for 5days During pregnancy 1st trimester 100 mg clotrimazole pessary each night for 6 nights with 1% clotrimazole cream 2-3 times daily. Partner should be treated over same period.

30 Nursing care Personal hygiene. Avoid alcohol intake during treatment
(unpleasant test, gastrointestinal disturbances & giddiness). Intercourse should be avoided un till the swab is negative. Partner should be treated routinely.

31 Cont. Chlamydia: Caused by Chlamydia trichomatis.
Commonest cause of genital infection in both sexes. Only survive inside the cells of it’s host. More closely resemble a bacteria than virus. High risk group women years age with multiple partner. Those who do not consistently use condoms.

32 Signs & symptoms Asymptomatic.
Thin Yellowish or purulent vaginal discharge (cervicitis). Dysuria. (urethritis 40%). Chronic lower abdominal pain (pelvic inflammatory disease, major cause).

33 SYMTOMS OF CHLAMYDIA

34 diagnosis Swab for culture.
Direct immuno-fluorescence detect monoclonal antibodies for Chlamydia (expensive). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Treatment: Erythromycin 500 mg 4 times daily for 14 days(in pregnancy)

35 Cont. Doxycycline, 100mg, twice/day for 7 days
Azithromycin single-dose Oflaxacin, 400mg twice/day for 7 days.

36 Complications Infertility. Tubal pregnancy.
Infection of Bartholin's glands. Trachoma Conjunctivitis Blindness. In men: Epididmo-orchitis Gonococcus urethritis.

37 HARMFUL EFFECTS OF CHLAMYDIA

38 Virus Infections Herpes Simplex:
The prevalence of this disease is rapidly increasing. Three-quarters of adult population have antibodies to this virus, indicating that they have been infected Episode may be primary or recurrent. Wide spread on vulva, vagina and cervix Commonly affecting mouth, pharyngeal, nose, genital area. There are 2 types : type 1 (HSV-1), type 11(HSV-11). Causative organism: Herpes virus hominis.

39 Signs & Symptoms Incubation period 2-21 days.
Painful vesicles develop in to multiple ulcer. Small, irritant blisters on the perineum. Small red painful erosions (the base is not hard). Dysuria (urine irritating sores). Urine retention. Women may experience a purulent vaginal discharge.

40 SYMPTOMS of HERPES ,

41 Cont. Psychological distress (contaminated, difficult to initiate future partner relationship, transmitted to the neonate with disastrous consequences). Type 1 oral lesions(cold sores) less common. Type 11 genital lesions. Primary attack 60% of people develop influenza- like symptoms(headache, backache,

42 Cont. (muscle pain & pyrexia, painful enlargement of local lymph glands). THEN The virus lies dormant in nerve ganglia. 2nd attacks occur in about 70% of people. Occur up to 3 weeks after ecquisition. Recurrences is less frequent, and resolve more rapidly. Sacral nerves may involve.

43 Diagnosis Take adequate sexual & travel histories(common in tropical countries). Culture; collecting serum from vesicle with small-gauge needle & syringe or Appling cotton tipped swab to ulcers. Serological test (distinguish b/w type1 & type11, antibodies).

44 Treatment: Antiviral treatment: Aciclovir. Valaciclovir, famciclovir 200 mg 5 times/day for 5 days. Aciclovir cream 5% applied to the lesions 5 times /day for 5 days. Topical 5% Idoxuridine 4 times daily for 4 days (inhibits viral replication by altering its DNA therefore not to be used during pregnancy, near to conceive, during lactation).

45 Cont. Simple analgesics
Local anesthetic (lignocanine gel applied to sore area). Nursing care: Sensitive discussion and counseling are essential Several follow up are needed. Advise patient herpes is likely even if the swab is negative.

46 Cont. Return for further culture if any similar lesion occur.
Infection control measures when collecting the sample for investigation. Encourage frequent warm saline washes ( 1 teaspoonful salt in 1 paint water) relive pain & prevent 2nd infection.

47 Cont. Relive pain by give analgesic, local anesthetic cream, warm salt washes. Exposure to air (speed healing). Patient with recurrent episode not need antiviral treatment just clean lesions with salt and avoid sexual intercourse.

48 Cont. Prevention measures:
Avoid contact between other people and open or newly healed lesions. Avoid traveling before the lesion healed completely. Avoid using sharing towels(asymptomatic persons). Treat symptomatic partner.

49 Cont. Pregnant women with history, vulva & vaginal swab should be taken weekly from 36 weeks gestation. Improvement of lower socio-economic groups. Vaccine. Avoid reactivation by stress, lower resistance to infection, exposure the sites of original lesions to sun light, friction, use poor lubrication) Use sheaths.

50 Complications: Risk of cervical carcinoma.
(yearly Pap smear test is suggested). Neurological involvement: Septic meningitis. Transverse myelitis. Autonomic neuropathy.

51 Cont. Encephalitis. Herpes keratitis- can lead to corneal scarring and blindness particularly treatment use steroid without antiviral. Surgical intervention(C/S). Resolution usually take 1-2 months.

52 HARMFUL EFFECTS of HERPES
                                                                         HARMFUL EFFECTS of HERPES

53 Venereal Diseases Usually present as vulvas lesions.
Include: Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and chancroid. Common in tropical regions. Gonorrhea (Drip or clap): Is a commonest bacterial sexual transmitted infection. 3-5 million cases /year. Teenage have the highest rate of occurrence.

54 Cont. 60% of females and 20%-40% of male don’t know they are infected.
Despite it’s increasing prevalence remains difficult disease to diagnose in women. Causative organism: Neisseria gonorrhea- gram-negative, diplococcal intracellular. Thrive in wet, mucus-lined body area (vagina, rectum, genitourinary, and endo cervix.

55 Cont. Incubation period: 3-30 days after contact.
Transmission: sexual relations Signs and symptoms: Asymptomatic 60% (F) and 40% (M) causing silent epidemic.(103 weeks). Thin- watery or milky discharge, may be yellowish or purulent greenish with foul smelling in female.

56 SYMTOMS OF GONORRHEA

57 Cont. Pain with burning during urination. Frequent urge to urinate.
Cramps in lower abdomen in female. Sore throat. Swelling vulva, urethra, and skene’s glands. In male symptoms may only occur in the morning(ignored).

58 Diagnosis High power microscopic test: Demonstrate gram negative intracellular diplococcus of fresh smear.(triple swabs, urethral, vaginal, cervical). Swab culture. History. Clinical examination.

59 complications Pelvic inflammatory disease Epididymitis. Sterility.
Eye infection –blindness. Abscess (Skene’s, Bartholine’s glands). Tubal scaring, ectopic pergnancy. Surgical repair. Endometritis, parametritis.

60 HARMFUL EFFECTS OF GONORRHEA
Abscess of penis, may rupture and require surgical repair Epididymitis: infection in the sperm-carrying tubes, can lead to sterility (unable to have children)

61 Cont. Treatment: May be resistant to antibiotic.
Ceftriaxone 125mg im +100mg doxycycline twice/ day for 7 days. Spectinomycin 2g im in single dose. Or ampicillin2-3.5g im. Alternative Oflaxacin 400 mg oral twice/ day for 7 days.

Both sexual partners need treatment over same period. Avoid sexual activity Need for condom use. Follow up till 2 tests are negative. Personal hygiene.

63 Venereal diseases Syphilis (‘pox’- bad blood):
There has been a surge in syphilis over the last 5 years. It is a systematic sexual transmitted infection, 50% of people don’t know they have it. The rate 2-8/100,000 population. Risk Factors: Sexual activity. Lower socioeconomic class. Illicit drug use

64 Cont. Causative organism:
Treponema palidum- spirochaete, can enter skin & mucous membrane. Transmission: 1-Direct contact with skin lesions. 2-Sexual intercourse. Kissing 3- Through the blood. 4- Through the placenta. Incubation period:

65 Cont. 9-90 days after exposure, (3-4 weeks average)
lesions may appear 1 year after exposure. Stages of Syphilis: Primary stage: Chancre is located at the point of entry. Highly infectious dull red or yellowish ulcer with hard base. Pain less, may appear at labia, clitoris, cervix common site, penis, lips, tongue, anus, and rare in vagina.

68 Primary- Kissing chancres

69 Oral chancres in primary syphilis

70 Cont. Chancre healed within 1 month, but infection has not ended.
Second stage: 6weeks – 6months after chancre disappear. Later last 3-9 months Any organ system may be affected. Sign & symptoms: 80% of people Low grade Pyrexia. Regional lymph nodes enlarged.

71 Cont. malaise, headache. sore throat joint pain.
Large genital warts known as condylomata lata. Dull red rashes, non irritant, non vesicular can cover the body, palms and soles. Systemic eruption occur. All sports & ulcers exude infectious serum.

72 Cont. Symptoms may disappear without treatment in 23% of people.
Some individuals 20-30% experience clinical relapse, lesions reappear. very infectious. hair loss (alopecia), mucous patches on the mucous membrane (tongue, lips, gum and pharynx).

73 2nd- skin rashs

74 2nd- Condylomata late

75 2nd- Alopecia

76 2nd- Mucosal lesions

77 Cont. Latent stage: During this stage no manifestation of infection only positive syphilis serology.. Infectious Infection can transmitted to partner. It begins after end of secondary stage and my last for a life time.

78 CONT. It begins after end of secondary stage and my last for a life time. Divided into : early and late latency. Early latency :1st year after the resolution of p.& 2nd stage lesions. Infectious. Secondary latency: not infectious except pregnant women may transmit infection to her fetus

79 tertiary stage Is the destructive stage of the disease .
After 5 years if infection untreated, 5% of people affected. Usually are very slowly progressive. Can be life threaten. Non infectious The main types are: 1 - late benign gummata (large open sores, slow to heal).

80 Late syphilis - ulcerating gumma

90 Cont. Prognosis: VDRL become negative within 2 years. Nursing care:
Both partner should be seen by doctor, tested and treated over the same period. Follow instruction exactly for taken medication. Avoid sexual intercourse. Sample for test HIV infection in all patients.

91 Cont. Don’t share medication with other the amount given only to cure your infection. Follow up the serological test for 2 years to be sure you are completely free of infection. Penicillin- allergic women skin test should be done. Advise patient that flu-like reaction is not always due to medication reaction but an allergic toxic response to treponemapallidum.

92 Hepatitis B This virus is present in the blood, and body fluid of those who have been infected. 300 million people infected world wide. 5,000-6,000 death/ year. Transmission: Through blood. Body fluids. Sexual intercourse.

93 Cont. Infected needles(drug addicts & tattooed).
The most common risk group: Homosexual and heterosexual (30%). Illicit drug use. Prostitutes. Blood and blood products recipients. 15-19 age group

94 Cont. People with high risk occupation. Signs and symptoms:
Incubation period: days after exposure. Occur within month after contact. Some may have mild or not noticeable symptoms. The degree of infectivity is measure by the presence of viral DNA.
