chancroid
granuloma inguinale
Nonulcerative lesions
Genital warts
Molluscum contagiosum
Vulvovagintis
Trichomoniasis
Candidiasis
Gardnerella vaginalis vaginitis
Systemic infections
Cytomegalovirus
Hepatitis
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Enteric infections
Giardiasis
Campylobacter enteritis
Shigellosis
Amebic dysentery
What is usually asymptomatic in women?
Gonorrhea
,purulent vaginal discharge, dysuria, and abnormal vaginal bleeding are symptoms of
Gonorrhea in women
urethritis, including dysuria and a purulent urethral discharge accompanied by redness and
swelling at the site of infection, usually occur after a 3- to 6-day incubation period
Gonorrhea in men
Gonorrhea is ________ transmitted
directly
Can gonorrhea spread via lymphatic system?
Yes
One of the first symptoms of gonorrhea can be ______ of the urethra, causing ________
retention
scarring
urinary
The chancer from syphilis can act as a _________ for the infection
Reservoir
infection of the vascular system consisting of five distinct stages: incubation, primary and
secondary stages, latency, and late
syphilis
Syphilis Etiology
Treponema pallidum, an anaerobic spirochete
formation of a chancre, a painless, ulcerative lesion that arises at the original spirochete portal
of entry is the first phase of
syphilis
The initial syphilis chancer may be unnoticeable in ________ at first
females
Latent syphilis
, the third stage of syphilis, which may last for years, during which symptoms disappear although
the person is still infected
may still be infected for decades
low-grade fever, malaise, sore throat, headache, lymphadenopathy, and mucosal or cutaneous
rash and is spread through the lymphatic/blood systems is the
second phase of syphilis
aortic necrosis and subsequent aortic insufficiency; damage to the central nervous system may
be progressively widespread, with degeneration of the cortical neurons and, eventually, paresis,
blindness, and mental deterioration are the symptoms of
the tertiary phase of syphilis
First choice of treatment for syphilis
Benzathine penicillin G
After invasion of the mucosa by Chlamydia during sexual contact, a painless lesion appears on
the genitalia after a 1- to 3-week incubation period
Lymphogranuloma Venereum
Persistant HPV infection can lead to
cervical cancer
After 2 weeks from the sighting of the LVM lesion, what is predicted to happen?
inguinal lymph nodes begin to swell, and the systemic symptoms of fever and malaise develop
What forms in the lymphnodes, causing the swelling?
polymorphonuclear leukocytes
Infected lymph nodes become abscessed and may rupture through the skin and body cavities,
causing _______
fistula formation
Recurrence of HSV infections can be induced by ____, ________, and _________
Stress, immunosuppression, infectious disease
In females, the _______ is the primary site of HSV-2 infection
