  • Title: The treatment of gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, and granuloma inguinale.
    Author: Spence MR.
    Journal: Clin Obstet Gynecol; 1988 Jun; 31(2):453-65. PubMed ID: 3042224.
    Abstract:
    The "classic" venereal diseases are a diverse group of infections caused by established pathogens. Their epidemiologies are unique and relatively well understood. Likewise, the clinical presentations, although diverse, are well defined, allowing them to be readily suspected or diagnosed. Once the clinical diagnosis is considered, laboratory support methods are available to confirm the impression. This results in the provision of specific directed therapy that is curative. The spread of disease, however, must be considered, and the sexual partners must be identified, evaluated, and, where applicable, treated to prevent spread. The reinforcement of preventative methods is also an important aspect of controlling these infections.
