Sexually transmitted infections: a modern approach to diagnosis - part two

The second part of modern diagnosing of sexually transmitted infections deals with new and less common bacterial causes of the diseases. Given the frequency of coinfections in this setting, it is important to use a multiplex diagnostic approach - PCR. A broader diagnostic workup, particularly in patients at risk, reduces the duration of antibiotic therapy and the risk of clinical relapses. It is always advisable to rule out HIV infection; the likelihood of transmission is several-fold higher.

Keywords: coinfection, Mycoplasma genitalium, tropical sexually transmitted infections.
