Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

328
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.9K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Glaucoma: Overview

599
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

246
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

957
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Infection01:20

Infection

8.0K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) present diverse ocular and periocular manifestations.
  • Etiologic agents include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and protozoa, transmitted through direct contact, autoinoculation, or systemic spread.
  • Vertical transmission during delivery can lead to ophthalmia neonatorum, potentially causing blindness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the heterogeneous etiology, manifestations, and complications of ocular STIs.
  • To summarize clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for ocular STIs.
  • To emphasize the importance of prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary management for preventing severe sequelae.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of ocular and periocular manifestations of STIs.
  • Summary of diagnostic modalities and therapeutic regimens based on etiology.
  • Emphasis on the role of ophthalmology and dermatology in managing these conditions.

Main Results:

  • Ocular STIs have varied presentations and can lead to severe complications, including permanent vision loss.
  • Prompt diagnosis is critical to prevent irreversible damage and systemic involvement.
  • Effective management requires a coordinated approach between ophthalmology and dermatology.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular manifestations of STIs require prompt and accurate diagnosis to prevent vision loss.
  • A multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmology and dermatology is essential for optimal patient outcomes.
  • Understanding the diverse etiologies and transmission routes is key to managing ocular STIs effectively.
