    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; herpes simplex virus; seroprevalence; Epstein-Barr virus; cytomegalovirus; urethritis; cervicitis; STI;

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) is high in the adult populations world-wide but varies between populations and time periods. Since a high proportion of infected individuals are asymptomatic, diagnostic approaches to reduce further transmission and complications are essential. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Urethritis and cervicitis with special reference to Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium : diagnostic and epidemiological aspects

    Författare :Lars Falk; Torvald Ripa; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to elucidate urethritis and cervicitis and the possible causes with special reference to Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium. Despite mandatory partner notification legislated in 1988, the incidence of C trachomatis infection in Sweden has undergone a 10% annual increase since 1997, following a decline in the early 1990s.

  4. 3. Clinical aspects of Mycoplasma genitalium infection

    Författare :Eva Björnelius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The microorganism Mycoplasma (M.) genitalium was first isolated by culture in 1980. Further attempts to culture this mycoplasma were difficult because of its slow growing nature. The development of polymerase chain reaction methods has made it possible to detect M. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium by genetic and serological methods

    Sammanfattning : Chlamydia trachomatis infections are associated with a spectrum of clinical diseases including urethritis, prostatitis and epididymitis among men and cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), with an increased risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy (EP), among women. In the search for other pathogens causing urethritis, Mycoplasma genitalium was isolated from urethral specimens from two men with acute urethritis (1980). LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Chlamydia and gonorrhea are major causes of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in adolescents worldwide. The infections are caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, bacteria with clinical manifestations such as urethritis, prostatitis and epididymitis among men, and urethritis, cervicitis and upper genital tract infection (i.e. LÄS MER
