This paper is a comparative analysis of several recent studies on the relationship between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive cervical carcinoma. In the pathogenesis of cervical cancer, the role of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is already well-documented; however, chronic Chlamydia trachomatis infection may have an indirect influence on the development of the disease.

We aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of screening for sexually transmitted infections (STI), Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Trichomonas vaginalis in patients with suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) but negative urine cultures, using a pooled sampling method. A cohort of 200 patients was analyzed. A decision tree model based on cost-effectiveness was used to evaluate the following five diagnostic strategies: (A) no screening;(B) screening only men;(C) screening only women;(D) screening men and women with high leukocyte counts (>70cells/µL);(E) screening all men and women.

Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection typically caused by serovars L1-L3 of . These serovars are tissue-invasive with a preponderance for lymphatic spread and can be acquired via unprotected oral, anal, or vaginal sex. We present the case of a 23-year-old with a prior history of syphilis admitted with four weeks of progressively enlarging painful right cervical lymphadenopathy.

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of vertical HIV transmission and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. In South Africa, syndromic management is the standard of care for STI management. We assessed the potential impact of point-of-care (POC) screening for curable STIs (Chlamydia trachomatis [CT], Trichomonas vaginalis [TV] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae [NG]) during pregnancy on vertical HIV transmission and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes.
