32
What causes HHV-2
33
Chemical characteristics of chancroid
Constitutional symptoms are rare. Multiple sites are affected due to autoinoculation.
Ulcers are dirty, ragged, shallow and take several forms. NOT INDURATED. Inguinal adenopathy, (above the ligament) soft, matted together and form unilocular sinus.
34
Causative agent of chancroid
Haemophilus ducreyi (G-ve bacilli).
35
Incubation period of chancroid
1-7days
36
Epidemiology of chancroid
•Epidemiology: Commonest GUD in the Nigeria. ‘Disease of the socially un-enlightened and economically unfortunate’ ! 50% of sexual contacts are infected.
Multiple sites are affected due to autoinoculation.
37
Complications of chancroid
Complication: Mixed chancre, secondary bacterial infections, fistulae, stricture, haemorrhages, gangrene, phimosis and para-phimosis.
HIV transmission is 2-9 times commoner in patients with chancroid.
38
Diagnosis of chancroid
Diagnosis:
1. Ito-reeisterna (or Dmelcos ) test.
2. Gram stain.
3. Culture. Requires X-factor. Incubation is at 28-32 degree for 2-5 days. Gram stain from cultures show G-ve bacilli in long chains (the so-called shoal of fish) pattern. NB: 99-1oo% of African isolates are beta-lactamase positive.
4. Biopsy from the edge of the ulcer.
5. Serology is Not reliable.
39

•Aetiology. Chlamydia trachomatis, subgroup A, serotypes L1, L2 and L3.
40
Epidemiology of lymphogranuloma venerum
•Epidemiology: Found in tropical and subtropical countries. Commoner in Southern than Northern Nigeria. It is also commoner in males than females.
41
Clinical features of lymphogranuloma venerum
Clinical features: Primarily a disease of lymph nodes and the lymphatics. The ulcer is small and transient (haircut). Constitusional symptoms are common. Lymphadenitis occurs 1-8 weeks after the ulcer and both are usually moderately painful except if secondarily infected by bacteria. The lymphadenitis occurs above and below the inguinal ligament, giving rise to the sign of the grove.
42
Complications of lymphogranuloma venerum
Complications. Secondary bacterial infection, fistulae, sinuses, urethral and anal stricture, abscesses, lymphatic obstruction also called Esthiomene, and malignant changes.
43
Diagnosis of lymphogranuloma venerum

2. CFT.
3. Biopsy.
4. Culture either in yolk-sac or in irradiated or chloheximide –treated McCoy cells /Hela 229 cells.
5. Micro IF test.
6. ELISA test.
7. PCR test.
8. Microscopy on pus mixed with Lugol’s Iodine.
9. ESR rises due to increased globulin. 10. Clinical diagnosis.
44
Treatment of lymphogranuloma venerum
Treatment: Doxycycline, Oxytetracycline, Erythromycin, Co-trimoxazole. NB: Bubo if present and ripe, MUST be aspirated and NOT incised!
45
Causative agent of gonorrhea
•Agent: Neisseria gonorrhoeae
46
Epidemiology of gonorrhea
Epidemiology: It is universal with short incubation period. (I.P. 1-5, average 2, days).PPNG strains complicate the story. Males and females are affected but asymptomatic infections are more in females due to their anatomy.
47
Clinical features of gonorrhea
Clinical features: Purulent discharge; associated organs are affected. Condom usage has diminished the magnitude of the problem while use of many orifices has escalated the matter.
48
Complications of gonorrhea
Complications. Genital stricture, metastatic complications like meningitis, skin lesions, arthritis, endocarditis and eye infections. Subfertility and infertility. Gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum should be distinguished from that caused by Chlamydia.

Sub-groups of chlamydia
The genus Chlamydia is divided into two sub-groups:
•1. Chlamydia psittaci –primarily a pathogen of psittacine birds but also causes zoonotic infections in man.
•2. Chlamydia trachomatis. This is sub-divided into three sero-groups:
• i. Serotypes A,B,Ba,& C.-These cause Trachoma.
• ii. Serotypes D-K. These cause inclusion conjunctivitis & genital infections.
•Iii. Serotypes L1, L2, L3. These cause Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). Chlamydia does better, whatever Neisseria gonorrhoeae does.

57
Characteristics appearance of trichomoniasis
Strawberry appearance; Its typical discharge is greenish, watery and foamy (ie, it contains air bubbles); it smells badly and itches intensely and worse at night. When the urinary blader is involved, frequency and dysuria occur. Severe vaginitis results in dyspareunia and ‘scissors action’.
58

males-NGU, prostatitis, balanoposthitis, epididymitis, urethral disease and infertility. In both sexes, TV facilitates HIV transmission by 2-9 times.
60
Diagnosis of trichomoniasis
Diagnosis: 1. Direct (wet-prep) microscopy. 2. Broth culture.
•3. Staining method.acridine orange, Leishman, PAS, Fontana, Papanicollau stains may be used.
•4.Antibody-based techniques.(using monoclonal antibodies, are being tried.) 5. DNA techniques. PCR & dot-blot hybridization, are techniques for the future.
61
Treatment of trichomoniasis
Treatment: Metronidazole (Flagyl), is the drug of choice; but about 5% strains are found to be resistant to it. Where they exist, increase the dose and treatment time.
•NB: Don’t use in pregnant women in first trimester and babies below 3 months.
•Alternate drugs include: Tinidazole (Fasygin), Nimorazole (Naxogin).
•Both patient and contact should be treated.
62

68
The commonest cause of genital yeast infection is
Candida albicans
69
Clinical course of genital yeast infection
IP is a few days to 3months.These infections have increased in recent years. Principally, they affect the mucosal surfaces like the mouth, pharynx, vagina and glans penis. Also the inter-triginous surfaces like the peri-anal and infra-mammary regions; the nails(onichia) and adjascent tissues(paronychia) and less commonly, the skin. Very rarely they cause systemic infections especially in immuno-compromised patients, as in HIV/AIDS. Other predisposing factors include prolonged use of antibiotics, Cntaceptive pills, Steroid therapy, homonal imbalance, wearing of tight pants, malignant disease, iron-deficiency anaemia, severe stress very young and very old ages.
70
Epidemiology of genital yeast infection
Epidemiology: Candida sp and other yeasts are part of the normal flora of the mouth, and GIT and also in the vagina of over 50% of adult females. Candida is more than ten times commoner in females than males ! Candida genital infection is endogenous in females but exogenous in males and males invariably acquire it through sex . Babies born to infected mothers acquire it. (oral thrush).
71
Other candida and yeast species
Torulopsis species,
Saccharomyces species,
Geotrichum species,
Trichosporum species
72
Treatment of genital yeast infection
Treatment: 1. Nystatin tablet/cream/ pessaries .2. Fluconazole.

73
Diagnosis of genital yeast infection
Diagnosis:
Candida is di-morphic fungus, existing in both yeast and mycelial forms, the latter being predominant in the pathogenic state.
•The specimen is best obtained from the vaginal wall (introitus) because the fungus is microaerophilic. Mix it with a drop of normal saline on a glass slide and view it as direct microscopy or stain with Gram stain. For a greater yield, culture it on blood/chocolate agar or sabouraud agar medium.
74
