“…Study of prevalence of STIs is important to know about their incidence at a particular place and to plan and implement appropriate control strategies. 2 A number of regional studies are available from different parts of India, [2][3][4][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] but none from this region. The pattern of STIs in these studies varies widely.…”

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a public health problem, which increase the HIV transmission and are a burden to the individual, his family and community. The prevalence of STIs varies widely across different regions in our country. There is immense need to study the pattern of STIs in various regions for proper planning and implementation of control strategies. The study was conducted with the objective to assess the pattern of STIs and their prevalence in a District hospital of Himachal Pradesh. Methods: A retrospective hospital based study was carried out from clinical records of the STI clinic over a period of one year (January 2016 to December, 2016). Detailed history, demographical data and clinical features were recorded, and STIs were categorized into various syndromes as depicted by National AIDS Control Organization. The data collected was analyzed statistically, and compared with other studies from across the country. Results: Cervical/vaginal discharge (80.4%) was the commonest STI followed by balanoposthitis (33.3%), lower abdominal pain syndrome (LAP) (17.1%), genital scabies (4.2%), herpes genitalis (3.7%), uretheral discharge (1.9%), genital warts (0.98%), chancroid (0.61%), molluscum contagiosum (0.6%), syphilis (0.12%) and inguinal bubo (0.12%). Balanoposthitis was the commonest STI in males, followed by genital scabies, herpes genitalis, genital warts, chancroid and genital molluscum, uretheral discharge and syphilis. In females, cervical/vaginal discharge was the most frequently reported STI followed by LAP, genital herpes, genital scabies, genital warts, chancroid, inguinal bubo and molluscum contagiosum. Conclusions: The increase prevalence of cervical/vaginal discharge was due to increased referral from Gynaecology OPDs. Balanoposthitis was quite commonly reported in males. The increase in the viral STIs has been seen, which is consistent with other studies from different regions.

“…There appears to have been a pathogen shift in the causation of STIs in the community, that is being reflected in the changed burden, found in our study as compared to the predominance of bacterial STIs, a decade ago [10,11]. Other researchers from different parts of the country also report similar changed predominance [7,12,13]. It is due to the generous and prophylactic use of over-the-counter broad spectrum antibiotics and probable up-gradation of quality of care at health facilities at peripheral and private health care levels.…”

Background Co-existence of one sexually transmitted infection (STI) with another viral or bacterial agent may change the classical behavior of the genital infection and may provide the stimulus for reactivation. The objectives of this study were to document and appraise the relevance and importance of co-infection in STIs in their prevailing permutation and combination.Material and methods This cross-sectional study included 200 consecutive patients, attended the STI clinic of a tertiary care hospital in East Delhi with one or more complaints related to STI. Samples were collected, stained, cultured and antibody detection was done.Results A number of STIs patients had significant association with multiple co-infecting agents. Dual coinfection was seen in 53.1%, while ≥ 3 STIs pathogens were seen in18% cases. Importance of serology in detecting subclinical cases is also highlighted in the study.Conclusion Present study highlights the requirement for periodic need based surveillance of STIs for clinical intervention with challenge to clinicians for diagnosing multiple co-infections. The number of subclinical STIs in the present study underscores the importance of serology for detection of common STIs in all patients presenting to the STI clinic.

“…In a study, males (83.79%) outnumbered females (16.21%) and male to female ratio was 5.17:1. 68.5% of cases belong to the age group of 20-40 years (Jain et al, 2008). In studies from Africa, genital herpes accounted for more than three quarters of all cases of GUD.…”
