Updates on Sexually Transmitted Urethro-cystitis

Abstract

Purpose of Review We performed recent literature review with the aim to address the updates in diagnosis and management of sexually transmitted urethro-cystitis. Recent Findings There are multiple, recently published studies that collectively lead to an organized stepwise plan for diagnosis and management of sexually transmitted urethro-cystitis. Summary Sexually transmitted urethro-cystitis is a common health condition that can be managed efficiently if the appropriate steps are taken in diagnosis and management.

Association Between the Level of Inflammation at Each Anatomical Sexual Activity from Gram Staining and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis Infections

“…Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), while NGU is caused by several types of organisms such as Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Trichomonas vaginalis. 3,4 The most common organism that causes NGU is CT. 3,5,6 In addition, gonorrhea can also be found in coinfection with other sexually transmitted diseases. 5,7 Screening for gonorrhea and NGU can be carried out by gram staining, which can detect pathogens that are gram-negative intracellular diplococci in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) in gonorrhea 3,8 and PMNL can be detected in both gonorrhea and nongonococcal urethritis.…”
