Abstract:
A total of 159 homosexuals suffering from various forms of syphilis, aged 17 to 71, were screened for chlamydial antigen with the use of fluorescent monoclonal antibodies. Asymptomatic urogenital chlamydiosis was detected in 33 of 107 (30.8 percent) homosexual syphilitics. In 52 patients the material was collected simultaneously from the throat, urethra, and rectum; Chlamydia were detected in 71.2 percent of these.

01:28Amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
01:18Trichomoniasis
Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis, one of the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infections in the United States. This extracellular parasite primarily colonizes the lower genitourinary tract in women—particularly the vagina—and in men, the urethra and prostate. Its structural and functional adaptations enable its survival, motility, and pathogenicity within the host environment.Structural Features and Host EntryT.
