Today’s talk • • Gonorrhea Chlamydia Syphilis Trichomoniasis
Case • 28 year old man with urethral discharge 4
Name of piercing ? a) Prince Charles b) Prince Harry c) Prince William d) Prince Albert
Prince Albert ring • • • The Prince Albert is one of the more common male genital piercings The Prince Albert is a ring-style piercing that extends along the underside of the glans from the urethral opening to where the glans meets the shaft of the penis Legend has it that Prince Albert used the ring to fix his penis to his thigh while wearing pants in court Ferguson, H. Body Piercing. BMJ 1999 6
Differential diagnosis of urethritis • Infectious Neisseria gonorrhoeae Chlamydia trachomatis Mycoplasma genitalium Trichomonas vaginalis Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 Oral flora---streptococci, anaerobes, haemophilus sp. , adenoviruses • Non-infectious Trauma--physical or chemical (drugs), post-catheterization or sex-play related Autoimmune--Reiter’s syndrome
Uncomplicated gonococcal infection Gram-negative intracellular diplococci Gram stain of urethral discharge 1000 x Neisseria gonorrhoeae Urethra Cervix Pharynx Rectum
Detection of gonococcal infection § § Gram stain sensitivity specificity Culture sensitivity specificity 92% 90% 95% 99% • Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) – PCR, SDA, TMA sensitivity 95% specificity >99. 7% -- NAATs FDA-cleared in urethra, cervix, urine, vagina, self-obtained vaginal specimens – Verified in pharynx and rectum

Case 19 year old female used Sex. Info text message service (Text “Sex. Info” to 61827) and comes in for a check-up. She has one regular partner for 6 months and has no symptoms. What STD screening tests are appropriate?
Recommended STI screening in sexually active female < 25 years • Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, annually • HIV test Consider Trichomonas vaginalis (increased risk) Herpes simplex virus type 2 antibody Avoid PAP smear (only if sexually active > 3 years) Syphilis USPSTF, 2013; AAP July 2014
Screening tests for chlamydial infection • Nucleic acid amplification tests – DNA amplification (Roche, Bayer, Abbott, BD, Seimens, Cepheid) – RNA amplification (Hologic)
Options for specimen collection 1) Cervical swab 2) Vaginal swab 3) Self-collected vaginal swab 4) Urine 5) Rectal swab 6) Self-collected rectal swab
