Abstract
The number of international tourists continues to increase every year, so do the infections diagnosed at return, including sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Risk-taking during sexual intercourse is increased while travelling. STD-causing microorganisms such as Chlamydiae trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Trichomonas vaginalis are cosmopolitan, some such as Haemophilus ducreyi remains endemic in several regions and others. N. gonorrhoeae isolated in inter-tropical areas show very high antibiotic resistance rates. In this context, biologists play an important role, in pre-analytic step in collecting clinical and epidemiological data in order to adapt the specific analysis that could be performed as well as in post-analytic step in helping the physician to choose appropriate treatments, in giving advice to patients and in participating to the surveillance networks.
