Abstract:
When a child suffers from sexual abuse clinical guidelines must be established. There is a risk of infection from the following agents responsible for sexually transmitted diseases: the hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency viruses, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, syphilis, herpes simplex virus, bacterial vaginosis, papillomavirus, Trichomonas vaginalis and Pediculus pubis. Therefore, a follow-up with periodic serological monitoring for 1year and immunoprophylaxis or chemoprophylaxis for some of these diseases should be started. Postpuberal girls should receive emergency contraception.
