  1. Sexually Transmitted DiseasesTreatment and Management October, 2009 DivyaAhuja, MD Associate Professor of Medicine

  2. Syndromic approach

  3. Case 1 • 24 year male, sexually active • Presents with 4 day history of dysuria and penile discharge

  4. Gonorrhea • Agent: Neisseriagonorrhoeae • Epidemiology • highest rates in Southeastern States • females and males between 15 to 34 represent ~ 80% of the cases • 400,000 new reported infections per year in US • 20 to 50% transmission risk per exposure • female-to-male transmission: 20% per episode, rising to 60-80% after 4 or more exposures

  5. Gonorrhea Gonorrhea — Rates by state: United States and outlying areas, 2003 Note: The total rate of gonorrhea for the United States and outlying areas (including Guam, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands) was 114.7 per 100,000 population. The Healthy People year 2010 objective is 19.0 per 100,000 population. Source: CDC/NCHSTP 2003 STD Surveillance Report

  6. Clinical Manifestations- Male • Symptoms of Acute anterior urethritis (>95%) • Scant urethral discharge at onset • discharge • dysuria • spontaneous resolution over several weeks • Complications • Epididymitis: relatively infrequent • Penile edema, urethral stricture, prostatitis • Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI)

  7. Clinical Manifestations- Female • Muco-purulent cervicitis • 1/3rd of cervical infections are subclinical • Cervical abnormalities may include: • Discharge, erythema, mucosal bleeding • Adnexal tenderness Complications • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) • 10 to 20% of non-pregnant women with GC

  8. Diagnosis • Gram- Stained Smear • Positive smear is considered diagnostic in men ( >99% specificity) • In women however, a culture is needed as sensitivity of gram stain is 50 % • Only culture tests are approved for rectum, pharynx and abuse cases

  9. What is the diagnosis if this patient has a monoarthritis and penile discharge?

  10. Disseminated Gonococcal Infection (DGI) • Arises from Gonococcalbacteremia • Think of gonococcus in a monoarthritis • Acute arthritis-dermatitis syndrome • arthritis: usually involves wrist, fingers, toes, ankle & knee joints • tender, necrotic pustule • Tenosynovitis

  11. Tx of Uncomplicated Infection of Cervix, Urethra & Rectum • Ceftriaxone 125 mg IM in a single dose OR • Cefoxitin 2 gm IM with Probenecid 1gm PO • Cefixime400 mg by suspension OR • If PCN allergy • Spectinomycin 2gm IM X 1 • Azithromycin 2 gm PO X 1 Plus if Chlamydia is not Ruled Out • Azithromycin 1 g po in a single dose or • Doxycycline 100 mg po bid x 7 days

  12. Increasing QuinoloneResistance • CDC Update,MMWR:April 2007/56(14);332-336 Data from GISP (1986-ongoing) : 2000: Quinolone Resistance in Asia and Hawaii 2002: California 2004: MSM 2007: Now not recommended for any gonococcal infection, heterosexuals or PID The resistance rate in MSM is upto 38.3% In Heterosexual males about 6.7%

  13. MUCOPURULENTCERVICITIS (MPC) • Typical causes • Chlamydia trachomatis • N. gonorrhoeae • Rarely M. genitalium and BV • Remember douching, chemical irritants • In most instances an organism is not isolated

  14. Chlamydia • Epidemiology • most common bacterial STD in the US • annual incidence in US is estimated @ 3 million cases • 70 to 80 % of infected women are asymptomatic • ~ 50% of infected men are asymptomatic • Peri-natal transmission results in neonatal conjunctivitis in 30-50% of exposed babies

  15. Chlamydia Chlamydia — Rates by state: United States and outlying areas, 2003 Note: Includes states and outlying areas that reported chlamydia positivity data on at least 500 women aged 15-24 years screened during 2003.

  16. Chlamydia: Clinical Manifestation-Male • Urethritis • Dysuria • Discharge • Proctitis • Only 1 of 8 infected men followed without Rx developed symptoms

  17. Chlamydia: Clinical Manifestation - Female • Mucopurulentcervicitis (MPC) • PID/ Infertility/ Ectopic pregnancy • Antibodies to C. trachomatis present in 75% of women who are infertile due to tubal obstruction vs. 25% of controls • Upto 40% of females with untreated Chlamydia will develop PID • Urethritis • Endometritis

  18. CHLAMYDIA - DIAGNOSIS • Leucorrhea > 10 WBC per high power field • Non-Amplified Antigen Tests • Enzyme Immunoassay, DNA Probe • Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests • PCR, PROBE-TEC, TMA, etc.

  19. Chlamydia Treatment • Azithromycin 1.0 Gm PO in a single dose OR • Doxycycline 100 mg orally bid x 7 days • Alternative regimen • Erythromycin base 500 mg poqid x 7days OR • Ofloxacin 300 mg po bid x 7 days • Dual treatment (GC/Chlamydia) • Treat sex partners • Abstain from sex for 7 days

  20. URETHRITIS • Gonococcal (GC) • Neisseriagonorrhoeae • Nongonococcal (where GC is negative) • Chlamydia trachomatis • Mycoplasmagenitalium • Ureaplasmaurealyticum • Trichomonasvaginalis • Herpes simplex virus • Cause unknown

  21. Gonococcal Urethritis

  22. Nongonococcal Urethritis

  23. DIAGNOSIS OF URETHRITIS • Visibly abnormal discharge OR • Gram Stain - abnormal number of leukocytes • Urethral Gram stain (5 or more WBC/OIF) • First-void urine • 10 or more WBC/HPF • Positive leukocyte esterase test

  24. Nongonococcal Urethritis- Treatment Recommended Regimens • Azithromycin 1 g po in a single dose or • Doxycycline 100 mg po bid x 7 days Alternative Regimens • Erythromycin base 500 mg po qid x 7 days • Erythromycin ethylsuccinate 800 mg po qid x 7days • Ofloxacin 300 mg po bid x 7 days • Levofloxacin 500 mg po daily x 7 days
