Routine periodic screening for STD's is recommended. Chlamydial Infection Syndromes include urethritis, epididymitis, cervicitis, salpingitis, proctitis, and lymphogranuloma venereum. Lumbar puncture should be performed in patients with neurologic symptoms or signs and in those with late latent syphilis to rule out central nervous system involvement. Genital Warts Syndrome is one or more skin-colored papular lesions at sites of sexual contact. These may occur externally on the penis, vulva, or perineal region, or internally in the vagina or rectum.
Diagnosis is made by clinical appearance.
All of the listed modalities are about equally effective, and there is a high rate of relapse although frequency is variable. Diagnosis is made by clinical appearance. Identify and screen populations at high risk. Promptly diagnose and treat patients with symptomatic infection. Evaluate, treat, and counsel their sexual partners.
