Extragenital sexually transmitted infections: epidemiology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and therapy
The paper analyzes the data available in the current literature on the epidemiology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and therapy of extragenital bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It systematizes the results of studying the antibiotic resistance of infectious agents and the clinical efficiency of etiotropic antibiotic therapy. An update on the epidemiology of extragenital bacterial STIs is presented; the clinical forms of diseases and methods for their diagnosis and therapy are described. Current studies demonstrate the high prevalence of extragenital bacterial STIs not only in men having sex with men, but also in heterosexuals. The timely diagnosis of extragenital STIs using molecular biological tests and the adequate therapy based on the indicators of antibiotic susceptibility of infectious agents will be able to prevent recurrences and complicated forms of diseases.Rakhmatulina M.R., Bolshenko N.V.
