Az STI szakrendelés kihívásai az elmúlt 19 évben a Szegedi Tudományegyetem Bőrgyógyászati és Allergológiai Klinikán

Abstract

Treatment of sexually transmitted infections can be a real challenge. Establishing the diagnosis is not always an easy task, many diseases come up from a differential diagnostic view. The frequency of the classic venereal diseases - namely gonorrhoea and syphilis - has increased in the last two decades. Patient care and contact research requires more and more time. Venerologists must have up-to-date knowledge about the symptoms, ways of propagation and actual treatment of the sexually transmitted infections, included the antibiotic resistance of the pathogens. Cooperation with colleagues of other specialties is of outmost importance. In the last few years several cases of lymphogranuloma venereum, previously known as a tropical STI, have been reported in Hungary. In addition, last year we have faced a new disease, the monkeypox. The authors provide an overview of the tasks and challenges of the STI outpatient clinic and present a case of monkeypox.
