Common pitfalls in the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.

To facilitate proper diagnosis of STDs, they must be considered as a diagnostic possibility in all sexually active patients. Whenever possible, appropriate laboratory tests must be performed to confirm a clinical diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established, the physician can administer specific and adequate treatment. The physician should have a comprehensive up-to-date treatment schedule to select a recommended treatment. Such treatment schedules are available upon request from most municipal and state health departments.

Gonodecten--new 3-minute in vitro diagnostic test for gonorrhea in the male without use of conventional culture or gram stain.

A method for a rapid (within three minutes) detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in a urethral exudate from male patients without the use of a Gram stain or culture, was evaluated in 201 patients. Analyses of the data obtained from the study indicate no difference with respect to sensitivity and specificity compared to the Gram stain. The use of the Gonodecten test kit as a differential diagnostic tool would decrease materially the time necessary to determine if a urethritis is gonococcal or nongonococcal while the patient is still in the office. The ability to diagnose rapidly gonococcal urethritis at the time of the patient's examination should contribute substantially to improved disease control, especially in the private sector. The Gonodecten test kit provides a diagnostic tool for the clinician who does not have a laboratory or qualified personnel to carry out the necessary tests for making a presumptive diagnosis of gonorrhea.

Sexually transmitted diseases. Primary syphilis.

Syphilis is an infectious spirochetal disease caused by Treponema pallidum. The disease is transmitted from person to person during sexual intercourse, congenitally by an infected pregnant woman to the fetus in utero, or very rarely, non-sexually. In its natural course, syphilis is characterized by an acute infectious primary and secondary stage, followed by a subclinical course of latency which may persist for years, or may progress in a minority of patients to a noninfectious late symptomatic stage where active involvement of the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system or localized gummatous destructive lesions may occur. This article reviews the clinical features and management of primary syphilis.
