  1. Agents of classical venereal infections Institute for Microbiology, Medical Faculty of Masaryk University and St. Anna Faculty Hospital in Brno

  2. Classical venereal infections • GonorrhoeaNeisseria gonorrhoeae • Syphilis Treponema pallidum • ChancroidHaemophilus ducreyi • Lymphogranuloma venereum Chlamydia trachomatis L1, L2, L2a, L3

  3. Neisseria gonorrhoeae

  4. GO: infections of the UGT ♂ • Urethritis • Epididymitis ♀ • Cervicitis • Urethritis • Bartholinitis • Endometritis • Salpingitis, adnexitis (PID, pelvic inflammatory disease) → sterility!

  5. GO: laboratory diagnostics – I Direct detection only: microscopy culture molecular biology tests Sampling places: ♂ urethra ♀ cervix, urethra, rectum, pharynx (if necessary)

  6. Ceftriaxone or ciprofloxacinusually a single dose, potential concurrent Chlamydia trachomatis: plus doxycycline or azithromycine

  7. Author: MUDr. Petr Ondrovčík

  8. The course of syphilis A) Early syphilis: primary (ulcus durum) secondary (mostly rash) early latent B) Late syphilis: latent terciary (gummas, aortitis, neurological) C) Congenital syphilis: early and late - Hutchinson´s teeth - mulberry molars

  9. Hutchinson incisors - screwdriver-shaped central incisors seen in congenital syphilis

  10. Hutchinson incisors (left) mulberry molars (right)- a first molar tooth whose occlusal surface is pitted due to congenital syphilis with nodules replacing the cusps Photo: Křemenová S, Zákoucká H, Křemen J.

  11. Syphilis: laboratory dg – I Direct detection From lesions (mostly ulcus durum) darkfield examination PCR immunofluorescence Indirect detection (serology) with nonspecific antigen (cardiolipin) with specific antigen (Treponema pallidum)

  12. Syphilis: laboratory dg – II Nontreponemal: RRR, VDRL, RPR biologically fals positive Treponema : TPHA, ELISA, WB, FTA-ABS,TPIT sensitive, specific, positive for life

  13. Poster, 1940

  14. Screening: cardiolipin test (RPR) + TPHA

  15. Gerrit van Honthorst (1590-1656): Dentist (1622)
