“…Moreover, Avanzi et al studied significance of genetic variation in interleukin 28B (IL28B) and inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) genes in cohort of HIV/HCV co-infected patients in Southern Brazil [9]. Saleem et al studied antibiotic resistance in Gonorrhea for prevention of STD [10]. In addition to this Ramdial et al studied lymph node biopsy in patients with nodal donovanosis [11].…”

The risk of child sexual exploitation is a growing concern, both within community and child care settings. Within community services working with vulnerable young people, the risks of exploitation are pervasive and present a constant management problem for professionals. This makes the need for focused educational interventions within such settings all the more vital. This case study aims to describe the assessment, formulation, intervention, and outcomes of a young female considered to be at risk of sexual exploitation. It was hypothesised that, after completion of a psychoeducational group designed to enhance knowledge and skills around child sexual exploitation, positive outcomes would be seen in psychometric assessment, risk-taking behavior, and risk awareness. Results demonstrated no clinically significant change for measures of impulsivity, resourcefulness, or self-reported difficulties. A significant increase was seen for self-reported self-esteem, and all outcomes revealed a positive direction of change. Observational accounts of behavioral and attitudinal change produced more positive results, revealing an increase in prosocial behaviors and a reduction in risk-taking behaviors. Outcomes are discussed in relation to the individual's history and the residential care environment. Implications for future research and practice are outlined, and the study limitations are considered.

Changing Susceptibility Pattern of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that increases the risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and causes infertility and urethral stricture. We describe three cases of sexually active men, otherwise stable, who presented with a history of painful micturition and creamy white, urethral discharge. A clinical diagnosis of gonococcal urethritis was made and confirmed by microscopy, culture and 16SrRNA. Antimicrobial susceptibility revealed resistance to all the antimicrobial agents tested including ceftriaxone. A dual therapy was initiated using ceftriaxone and azithromycin, but at a higher dose for the patient with multi-drug resistant (MDR) Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Patients did well and were followed up for 5 months. Contact tracing was done for their sexual partners. While it is also important for healthcare workers to familiarize themselves with current treatment guidelines for gonococcal urethritis, the place of clinical laboratory in the management of STIs, with molecular techniques and the need for surveillance for MDR Neisseria gonorrhoeae cannot be overemphasized.
