“…The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in our study (16%) is higher than sexually active young Brazilian women (7.4% and 13.5%) that were examined in two separate study (38, 39), and also in similar studies in Greenland, USA, Norway, Canada and Uganda with the prevalence of chlamydia infection 7%, 8%, 7.2%, 9.3% and 6% respectively (40-44). However differences in the prevalence of chlamydia and gonorrhea in different studies may be due to the use of different diagnostic methods, differences in sample size and different socio-cultural conditions.…”

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are the most prevalent bacterial sexually transmitted diseases in women.Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of gonorrheal and chlamydial infections and determination of related risk factors in married women with vaginal discharge attending gynecological outpatient department (OPD) in Zanjan in 2013-2014.Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, 100 married women aged 18-49 years with vaginal discharge were evaluated for signs and symptoms of gonococcal and chlamydial infections. Then cervical discharge samples and blood samples were collected from each subject for the detection of Nisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis by bacterial culture and serological tests, respectively. Results: The overall prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Nisseria gonorrhoeae were 16% and 4%, respectively. There was no significant relationship between the contraception methods, previous history of vaginal infections, previous history of urinary tract infections, number of coitus per week and self-reported symptoms (itching, burning, abdominal pain) with prevalence of Nisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Conclusion: According to our results, the prevalence of gonococci infection in Zanjan was remarkable and relatively was higher than other parts of Iran, therefore it is necessary to put emphasis on education and further preventive and therapeutic programs.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is found in adults and adolescents and is associated with genital warts and cervical cancer. However, it has been detected in girls younger than 10 years old. Currently, there are no prevention methods for this age group, since it is not considered a risk group. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of infection and HPV subtype in girls under 9 years old attended at a referral service in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Forty-three girls younger than 9 years old had gynecological brush samples collected from vulval and perineal/anal regions. Viral detection and subtyping were done using polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing. Statistics was performed using Action Stat 3.1. The mean age of girls was 6.1 years. Sexual activity and abuse were not reported by 95.3%. Family stories showed viral infection in 9.3% of mothers, 4.7% of fathers and 9.3% of caretakers. None of these were related with the children infection. In the only case of mother's gestational HPV infection, the daughter tested negative. Genital warts and infection were observed in 7% and 13.9% of the patients, respectively. Viral subtypes detected were 6, 11, 38, and 42. These results demonstrate the presence of HPV infection in girls under 9 years of age. Prevalence studies are needed in order to evaluate a possible alteration in age of vaccination policy.

“…Dessa forma, não se tem uma noção razoável sobre sua verdadeira ocorrência em nosso meio. No entanto, relatos recentes sobre a elevada prevalência de DST em mulheres em idade fértil e em gestantes (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) , além das precárias condições de controle pré-natal e do elevado índice de transmissão da infecção da mãe para o RN (1) permitem inferir que a prevalência da CN seja elevada, o que justifica a utilização de método preventivo.…”

RESUMONos últimos tempos, a necessidade da utilização de medicamentos para prevenção da conjuntivite neonatal (CN) passou a ser questionada em alguns países desenvolvidos, devido ao elevado nível de assistência pré-natal. Ao contrário, no Brasil, embora não haja dados oficiais sobre sua ocorrência, vários trabalhos recentes comprovam elevada prevalência da infecção genital em mulheres em idade fértil e em gestantes. Isso, aliado ao fato de que o índice de transmissão da infecção genital por clamídia e gonococo, da mãe infectada para o recém-nascido é de 30 a 50%, leva à conclusão de que a profilaxia medicamentosa está mais que justificada. A CN implica em importante potencial de complicações locais e sistêmicas, além da necessidade de exames laboratoriais para seu diagnóstico etiológico. Por isso, constitui importante problema de saúde pública, negligenciado no Brasil, onde não há padronização do método de prevenção. Embora o uso do nitrato de prata pareça ainda ser o método oficial, seu uso tem sido questionado devido à incompleta proteção contra clamídia, principal agente da conjuntivite neonatal nos dias atuais, e pela frequente ocorrência de conjuntivite química. Por isso, tem sido substituído por outros agentes, como a eritromicina, a tetraciclina, além de outros antibióticos. A superioridade da Iodopovidona em relação a esses antibióticos, nos vários quesitos analisados, tem sugerido que esse é o mais adequado entre os produtos, testados até o momento, para prevenção da CN.
