Seasonsal variations in the reported incidence of sexually transmitted diseases in Scotland (1972-76).

Abstract

SUMMARY The seasonal variation in the quarterly incidence of some sexually transmitted diseases and other conditions in Scotland is compared with that of gonorrhoea and of conceptions leading to live births or abortions. The seasonal incidence for non-specific genital infections and for other conditions not requiring treatment in both men and women was similar to that of gonorrhoea, thus indicating an association with promiscuity, whereas the seasonal variation for candidosis in men and women-an infection not usually associated with promiscuity-was similar to that of conceptions. Differences between the sexes occurred, however, in the seasonal incidences of scabies, pubic lice, genital herpes, trichomoniasis, and other conditions requiring treatment; thus men with these conditions appeared to be more promiscuous than women. The seasonal variations in incidence of genital scabies and pubic lice indicate that these infestations are more easily transmitted by close bodily contact indoors during cold weather than in the open air.

Prevalência de Condiloma Acuminado no Município de Campo Grande – Mato Grosso do Sul, no Período de 2006 a 2009

“…Oriel (1971) 14 e Schofield (1979) 15 também revelam que as verrugas genitais são mais comuns em homens que em mulheres.…”

“…Nosso trabalho encontrou um maior número de casos em pacientes adolescentes (15)(16)(17)(18)(19), em comparação com a pré-adolescência (10)(11)(12)(13)(14), o que se explica por uma coitarca mais tardia. Rama 16 não comparou as fases de adolescência e pré-adolescência, mas encontrou uma maior prevalência em mulheres com menos de 25 anos de idade.…”

Nail Changes as the First Manifestation of the HLA-B27 Inheritance

“…Incomplete syndromes have been published and arthritis is often regarded as the principal symptom [3,10,21]. Therefore, it seems reasonable to call case 2 chronic recurrent Reiter's disease.…”

“…In spite of clear genetic back ground there are only a few case reports of Reiter's disease occurring in families [8,10,13,18]. Incomplete syndromes and differences in classifications may make the diagnosis difficult [3,16,21,22]. A boy and his father with incomplete Reiter's diseases but with the combination HLA-A2; B27 are presented here.…”

“…Nail changes are infrequent and they are usually seen connected with serious cases [12,21], During the last few years the histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27 as a connecting feature among the patients suffering from Reiter's disease [2,6,11,24,25], ankylosing spondylitis [4,9,15], acute anterior uveitis [5] and so-called reactive arthritides [1,2] has been found. According to Aho et al [2] HLA-A2 is also frequently associated with B27 in patients suffering from reactive arthritis and Reiter's disease.…”
