Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are very common worldwide, in Europe as well as the Czech Republic. According to WHO estimates, one million of new patients worldwide daily contract one of the STIs. A natural host of these infections is the man only. Differential diagnosis always requires laboratory testing to identify the causative agent. In order to choose a diagnostic approach, it is essential to have knowledge of the natural history of the clinical disease and of the effect of antibiotics and antiretroviral drugs, including those administered in an untargeted manner.

Keywords: syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, PCR, antibodies.
