Objectives: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have markedly increased over the last decade in Spain, calling for prevention and control innovative approaches. While there is evidence indicating the effectiveness of self-sampling for STI diagnosis, no kits for this purpose have been authorised in Spain.
Methods: A prospective single-blind cross-sectional study carried out between November and December 2022 in an STI clinic in Madrid, Spain, to determine the validity, feasibility and acceptability of self-sampling kits used by non-healthcare professionals from vagina, pharynx, rectum and urethra to diagnose (CT) and (NG).

Article Synopsis
- Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a common treatment for hydrocephalus in children, but rare complications like the catheter migrating and coming out through the rectum can occur, leading to serious issues without warning symptoms.
- A 9-month-old infant with a history of prematurity and tuberculous meningitis presented with the distal end of their VPS catheter visible at the rectum for a week, but showed no neurological or gastrointestinal symptoms, prompting immediate surgical intervention.
- The case highlights the importance of considering unusual complications in VPS patients, as well as the need for vigilant monitoring, especially in asymptomatic infants to prevent life-threatening outcomes.
