Description
In the age of AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases (STD) caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites still pose a significant threat to public health. Fortunately, this field has gained much from the rapid progress of medical knowledge within recent years and new techniques and substances have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of many of these diseases. This new volume focuses on these latest diagnostic and therapeutic advances and fully examines all aspects of STD. Classic diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhoea and chancroid, and newer bacterial diseases such as "chlamydia trachomatis" infections and bacterial vaginosis are all expertly covered in this timely publication. Readers will find a wealth of information on the all important viral STD caused by herpes simplex, the hepatitis viruses and human papillomavirus as well as in-depth studies on STD in HIV-positive patients and the problems of treating STD in pregnant women. This book should be essential reading for dermatologists, venereologists, infectious disease specialists, gynaecologists, obstetricians and urologists who want to keep up with the pace of innovation.
