Introduction.The structure of incidence of sexually transmitted infections is changing constantly. Information on such changes supports correct planning of clinical and diagnostic activities of institutions providing specialized medical care by qualified specialists.Objective:to investigate the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections with pathogens clinically significant to the genitourinary system in Ukraine and at the local level.Materials and methods. Polymerase chain reaction was used to test the biological material obtained from the genitourinary clinical specimens from subjects with sexually transmitted infections, who underwent clinical and laboratory examinations in Oleksandrivsk Clinical Hospital (Kyiv, Ukraine) for Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Trichomonas vaginalis, Human papillomavirus, and Neisseria gonorrhoea. During 2017, 607 subjects of both genders, including 295 (48.6%) females and 312 (51.4%) males, were examined. Their mean age was 32±3.5.Findings. Chlamydia trachomatis was found in 159 (26.2%) of 607 examined subjects – 85 males and 74 females. Mycoplasma hominis was found in 122 of 585 (21.1%) examined subjects – 64 males and 58 females. Mycoplasma genitalium, respectively, in 17 (6.62%) of 258 subjects – 6 males and 11 females. Ureaplasma urealyticum was found in the largest number of subjects (305, i.e. in 48.77% of 601 examined subjects) – 157 males and 148 females. Trichomonas vaginalis was found in 28 (5.23%) of 535 subjects – 15 males and 13 females. Human papillomavirus was found in 158 of 297 (53.2%) examined subjects – 88 males and 70 females. Neisseria gonorrhea was found in 33 of 297 (8.45%) subjects – 8 males and 25 females.Conclusions. As suggested by the local study of the sexually transmitted infections incidence in Ukraine, the most clinically significant for the genitourinary system are Human papillomavirus (53.2%), Ureaplasma urealyticum (48.77%), Chlamydia trachomatis (26.2%) and Mycoplasma hominis (21.1%). Therefore, tests for these pathogens in the specified region is currently the most appropriate during diagnostic examinations and counselling of subjects with genitourinary infections.

Introduction. Despite increasing application of molecular diagnostic methods for the detection of sexually transmitted infections, the cytological findings in pap smears of patients with pathogens that can be identified only by PCR are not yet well described. The aim of this study was to describe the most common cytological features in cervical pap smears of patients with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum detected by multiplex PCR. Methods. Cervical samples for conventional and liquid-based cytology and for multiplex PCR were collected from women ranging from 23 to 54 years old, who underwent routine screening at a gynecological Unit. Results. Multiplex PCR was positive in 36.2% of the samples: Ureaplasma parvum 14.9%, Chlamydia trachomatis 10.6%, Trichomonas vaginalis 10.6%, Mycoplasma hominis 8.5%, Ureaplasma urealyticum 4.2%, Neisseria gonorrhoeae 2.1%, and Mycoplasma genitalium (0). Multiple pathogens were observed in 12.8% of samples. Microscopic cervicitis (≥10 polymorphonuclear leukocytes/epithelial cell) and normal (predominantly lactobacillary) microbiota were the most frequent findings in the samples in which the pathogens were detected alone or in multiple infections, except for samples with Trichomonas vaginalis in which the coccobacillary microbiota was the most common. In samples with microscopic cervicitis and normal microbiota, those with at least one pathogen identified by multiplex PCR were significantly more frequent than those with no pathogen, 66.6% versus 33.3%. Conclusion. Failure to identify an inflammatory agent in pap smear with intense neutrophil exudate may suggest the presence of Ureaplasma parvum, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, or Trichomonas vaginalis. A remark on the intensity of inflammation should be made in the reports of cervical pap smears so that this cytological finding can be correlated with clinical and PCR results.

Introdução: A microbiota vaginal é um complexo sistema com diversidade de microrganismos. A disbiose parece aumentar o risco de infecções, principalmente as sexualmente transmissíveis, entre as quais por papilomavírus humano, agente associado a lesões cervicais. Objetivo: Avaliar os diferentes tipos de microbiota cervical e as suas características no esfregaço de material residual de citologia em meio líquido, associando com o papilomavírus humano e com Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Trichomonas vaginalis. Métodos: O estudo analisou 179 casos que tinham material residual de citologia em meio líquido. Alíquota do material foi colocado em lâmina adequada, fixado a seco e corado por método de Gram para leitura em microscópio óptico. Outra alíquota foi utilizada para estudo em reação em cadeia da polimerase - transcriptase reversa e multiplex para pesquisas dos microorganismos associados a infecções sexualmente transmissíveis. O teste exato de Fisher com intervalo de confiança foi utilizado para significância estatística. O projeto foi aprovado em comitê de ética sob número 24071519.9.0000.5049 (UniChristus). Resultados: Os casos foram divididos conforme o escore de Nugent aplicado a esfregaços corados pelo método de Gram. Em microbiota cervical normal (escores de 0 a 3), 100 casos (55,86%); em microbiota intermediária (escore de 4 a 6), 51 casos (28,5%); em sugestivo de disbiose (escore de 7 a 10), 28 casos (15,64%). Nos casos de disbiose, foram observados: Chlamydia trachomatis (1[3,57%]), Mycoplasma hominis (7[25%]), Ureaplasma urealyticum (1[3,57%]), papilomavírus humano 16/45 (1[3,57%]), papilomavírus humano de alto risco (AR) (3[10,71%]) e AR e 16/45 (1[3,57%]). No grupo normal, foi a seguinte distribuição: Ureaplasma urealyticum (1[1%]), papilomavírus humano 16 (2[2%]), papilomavírus humano 18/45 (3[3%]), AR (13[13%]). No grupo intermediário, a distribuição foi: Ureaplasma urealyticum (2[3,9%]), papilomavírus humano AR (5[9,8%]) e papilomavírus humano AR, 16 (1[3,9%]). A única diferença significativa foi de Mycoplasma hominis na disbiose (p<0,0001). Conclusão: O estudo não evidenciou uma associação maior no grupo de disbiose com a maioria das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, no entanto, com Mycoplasma hominis, foi significativo.

Testing Patterns

Background This study sought to determine community prevalence, epidemiology and testing patterns for sexually transmissible infections (STI) in northern New Zealand. Methods: A total of 2643 samples submitted for STI testing between 26 November 2015 and 7 December 2015 underwent analysis by Aptima Combo 2 (Hologic, San Diego, CA, USA), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) assays. Results were analysed by patient demographics. Results: Four hundred and eleven pathogens were detected from 359 patients, with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), TV, and MG detected in 178 (6.7%), 19 (0.7%), 80 (3%) and 134 (5.1%) samples respectively. With the exception of TV, STI prevalence was highest in people <25 years of age. Infection was more common in men for NG (odds ratio (OR) 5.05, P < 0.001) and CT (OR 2.72, P < 0.001). Māori and Pacific ethnicity were associated with increased risk of MG (OR 1.82, P = 0.006,) TV (OR 6.1, P < 0.001) and CT (OR 3.31, P < 0.001) infection, and TV and NG infections were more prevalent as social deprivation increased. A mismatch between testing rates and prevalence of infection was seen, with fewer tests performed for males (OR 0.2, P < 0.001) than females and no difference in testing of Māori and Pacific men (3064/100 000) compared with men of European background (3181/100 000, OR 0.96, P = 0.76), despite an increased risk of disease. Conclusions: There are disparately low testing rates for STIs in certain high-risk groups in northern New Zealand.

Abstract Background Despite reports in the past few years that Americans are having less sex, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported in 2019 that sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases are at an all-time high in the United States. The CDC report included statistics on confirmed cases of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, but did not include data for Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma genitalium. Although Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma genitalium are generally recognized agents responsible for STI’s, there is limited prevalence data in the United States. Methods Herein we present STI prevalence and socio-demographic epidemiological data associated with patients enrolled in a multicenter STI study using the automated multiplex qualitative CE marked assay, Alinity m STI. The enrolled study population reflected a diverse number of participants with an approximately equal male to female ratio, prior STI history, single and married, education levels from primary to post-graduate, as well as different ethnicities. Results Participants in this study population who have previously been diagnosed with an STI had an overall Mycoplasma genitalium prevalence rate that was approximately double those who have not been previously diagnosed with an STI. Furthermore, the co-infection rate for Mycoplasma genitalium and Trichomonas vaginalis was as high as 2.5% for vaginal swab specimens with an overall Mycoplasma genitalium prevalence of 11.6%. The overall prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis in women was 12.3%. Neisseria gonorrhoeae had the lowest overall prevalence in men and women at 2.4%, and Chlamydia trachomatis at had an overall prevalence of 9.8%. Conclusion Mycoplasma genitalium infections are generally asymptomatic in both men and women that contributes to up to 35% of non-chlamydial non-gonococcal urethritis in men and linked to cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Left untreated or not accurately diagnosed, STIs can cause significant, serious long-term health consequences including sexual, reproductive, and psychological well-being that present an extensive challenge and burden to public health in the United States.
