    Journal: J Med Liban; 2004; 52(4):241-3. PubMed ID: 16432989.
    Abstract:
    Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) represent some of the oldest and most prevalent infectious diseases of humans. Currently and with changes in lifestyles, the short list of STDs has grown to currently comprise 21 different infections and infestations. In this review, we concentrate on those infections that are common and which require special approach and handling. Gonorrhea and nongonococcal urethritis comprise more than half of STDs. The approach and management of these patients is briefly outlined. The important role contact tracing and education play in improving preventive practices of these infections is emphasized. Syphilis is presented in a simplified approach touching on presentation, diagnosis and treatment.
