complications: endometritis, salpingitis, PID
pharyngitis
reactive arthritis
in infants: conjunctivitis, PNA (prophylaxis treatment at birth)

Lymphogranuloma venereum
endemic in africa, SE asia, caribbean
primary lesion: asymptomatic papule or ulcer, heals rapidly, occurs 3-30 days post infection

Study These Flashcards
A

cerftriaxone 250mg IM once + doxycycline 100mg PO twice daily for 14 days +/- metronidazole 500mg twice daily x 14 days

sexual partners should be treated

inpt treatment:
Cefotetan 2g iV q 12 hours + doxycycline 100mg PO twice daily x 14 days

Prehn’s sign

urine NAAT for GC, chlamydia

tx: according to risk + symptomatic

24
Q

Prostatitis

Study These Flashcards
A

ascending infection from urethra
reflux of infected urine
urethral instrumentation, foley catheters, surgery

sxs:
high fever, chills, perineal and back pain, UIT sxs

25
What are the sxs of acute prostatitis?
high fever, chills, perineal and back pain, UIT sxs
26
Acute vs chronic prostatitis?
acute: high fever, chills, perineal and back pain, UIT sxs chronic: asymptomatic to perineal discomfort, low back pain, dysuria Microbio differs: actue - N. gonorrheae, E. coli chronic - E. coli, enterococci, chlamydia, ureaplasma
27
How do you dx prostatitis?
+/- urine culture, blood culture, CBC
28
How do you tx prostatitis?
Quinolone: ciprofloxacin 500mg q 12 hours x 4-6 weeks alternative levofloxacin or norfloxcain or Bactrim DS
29
Chancriod
Haemophilus ducreyi incubation 1 day - weeks generally confined to the genitalia initially begins as a tender papule with surrounding erythema forms PAINFUL ulcer
30
How do you dx chancroid?
clinical culture, gram satin "school of fish"
31
What is the treatment for chancroid?
azithromycin 1g PO once or ceftriaxone 250mg IM once or ciprofloxacin 500mg PO twice daily for 3 days or erythromycin base 500mg 3 times daily x 7 days
32
Granuloma inguinale
klebsiella granulomatis rare in US painLESS ulceration of genital lesions withOUT regional lymphadenopathy dx: Donovan bodies on tissue biopsy tx: Azithromycin 1g weekly once per week for 3 weeks
33
Syphilis
treponema pallidum highly infectious: transmitted by sexual contact, transplacentally, transfusion, needle stick, most infectious early in disease majority of cases are 15-30 yo higher rates in MSM
34
What is the clinical manifestation of primary syphilis?
incubation periods 3-90 days Chancre forms at site of inoculation: initially painless papule, erodes with raised borders heals within 3-6 weeks can be multiple, atypical, or absent can be present on the cervix, mouth, perianal area accompanied by adenopathy
35
What is the clinical manifestation of secondary syphilis?
begins 2-8 weeks after appearance of chancre disseminated disease maculopapular rash can involve any surface of the body, presence on PALMS and SOLES is HIGHLY suggestive papule can coalesce to form gray-white highly infectious plaques called CONDYLOMATA LATA
36
Latent syphilis
no clinical manifestation, but positive serology (usually)
37
Tertiary syphilis clinical manifestation
progressive inflammatory disease, can affect any organ neurosyphilis CV syphilis late benign syphilis ``` Neurosyphilis Parenchymatous disease Syphilitic otitis Cranial nerve palsies Gummas ```
38
Neurosyphilis
NOT DONE HERE
39
How do you dx syphilis?
darkfield examination is dx method serological tests: nonspecific, non-treponemal reaginic tests: VDRL and RPR -false negatives in primary, most reliable for secondary syphilis, false positive can occur (pregnancy, SLE, and HIV) become positive 3-6 weeks after inoculation non-treponemal tests: -RPR is used primarily for screening; VDRL primarily for CSF (neurosyphilis) treponemal tests: FTA-ABS TPHA (+ on CSF for neurosyphilis)
40
What is the treatment of syphilis?
early disease (less than 1 year) - PCN G benzathine 2.4 MU, IM neurosyphilis IV PCN = only option alternative to PCN: doxycycline, ceftriaxone
41
Primary vs reactive HSV
primary: often asymptomatic painful clusters of vesicles systemic sxs reactive: often asymptomatic prodrome then vesicles at same site
42
What is the treatment for herpes?
Primary/suppressive (6+/year)/recurrent acyclovir famcyclovir valacyclovir
43
HPV
human papilloma virus cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus transfer skin to skin 2/3 of sexual contacts develop disease respiratory papillamatosis in children infection often asymptomatic
44
Which HPV is associated with malignancies?
6, 11 = warts 16, 18, 31, 33, 35 -- cancer (and flat warts)
45
What is the clinical manifestation of HPV?
flesh to gray colored papules either sessile or pedunculated, they may merge into plaques in men, usually on the penile shaft, urethra may be involved in women, usually posterior introitus, labia flat condylomas on cervix, vagina perianal warts
46
How do you dx HPV?
clinical (warts) application of acetic acid solution HPV DNA detection
47
How do you treat HPV?
no treatment is curative and relapses are common
