“…1 Previous studies showed that the majority of patients with AGWs who applied to the dermatology outpatient clinic are male patients (ranged 58.5%-88.8%). [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In our study, the number of male patients (70.7%) was higher than female patients, consistent with the literature.…”

There are limited studies on the frequency of other sexually transmitted diseases in patients with anogenital warts (AGWs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the frequency of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in patients with AGWs. Material and Methods: The data of the patients with AGWs, who applied to our dermatology outpatient clinic between January 2015 and December 2021, were analyzed retrospectively. Serological test results for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis and HIV infections of patients with AGWs were evaluated. Results: Of 765 patients with AGWs, 541 were male and 224 were female. Among 313 patients who underwent hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) testing, HBsAg positivity was detected in 5 (1.6%) patients. Hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV) positivity was detected in 4 (1.2%) of 324 patients who underwent anti-HCV testing. Four (1.3%) of 298 patients who underwent rapid plasma reagin (RPR) for syphilis were positive (RPR titers 1/2, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/128). Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA) test was negative in 2 patients. The diagnosis of syphilis was confirmed by TPHA test in 2 patients whose RPR titers were 1/16 and 1/128. Among 344 patients who underwent HIV antibody (anti-HIV) testing, anti-HIV positivity was detected in 16 (4.7%) patients. It was later uncovered that 13 of 16 patients were HIV-infected patients who had been already followed by infectious diseases specialists. Confirmation test for HIV infection was negative in 2 patients and positive in 1 patient. As a result, 14 HIV-positive patients were detected. Conclusion: The patients with AGWs should be evaluated for other sexually transmitted diseases, especially syphilis and HIV infection.

“…Bacterial coinfections impact significantly on the process of pathogenesis and appearance of clinical manifestations [22,23]. It is also indicative that coinfections may be present in asymptomatic patients [24]. Compared to infections, coinfections change the process of inflammation in different ways.…”

Association of bacterial vaginosis with the most common sexually transmitted infections

Introduction/Objective. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal dysbiosis that enlarge a possibility of getting sexually transmitted infections (STI). The aims of this research is to examine association between BV and the nine most common causes of STIs (Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma spp, Trichomonas vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, high-risk Human papilloma viruses and Herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2) and to determine if the presence of BV increase the probability of coinfection with any of the STIs microorganisms. Methods. This study involved 235 patients of reproductive age. One sample swab was collected each for vaginal and cervical testing. The vaginal swabs were used for detection of BV by RT-PCR test. The cervical swabs were used for the detection of the most common STIs which were tested by four different multiplex RT-PCR tests. Pearson?s ?2 test and Fisher?s probability test were used for statistical analysis of the results. Results. Comparison of the total number of STIs and the condition of the vaginal flora has shown that STIs are the most common in patients with BV 80 (89.9%). Women with BV have a higher frequency of infections with Ureaplasma spp. and M. Hominis, 71 (78.9%) and 50 (44.4%), respectively. The presence of detected STI pathogens and relation with the state of vaginal flora indicate that mono infections are present most often in patients with normal flora 51 (42.1%), while coinfections are mostly present in BV patients 50 (55.6%). Conclusion. This study has confirmed the association of M. hominis and Ureaplasma spp with BV as well as an association of coinfections with this dysbiosis. Better understanding of the association between various STIs and the status of vaginal flora is necessary to enable better diagnosis, prevention of diseases and women?s health protection.

“…Polymicrobial cervicitis, though rarely documented on cytology, is common among immunocompromised women, especially those who are HIV‐positive. HIV‐positive patients are at an increased risk of acquiring various sexually transmitted diseases, including bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, candidiasis, chlamydial infection, herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV‐2) infection and HPV infection 1,2 …”

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection are at an increased risk of acquiring multiple sexually transmitted diseases. Establishing a cytological diagnosis of multiple viral infections on cervical cytology may be challenging due to its relative rarity as well as a lack of familiarity with the characteristic cytological features. Herein, we describe the cytological features of dual human papillomavirus and herpes simplex virus on a liquid‐based cytology cervical preparation.
