Most persons who have serologic evidence of infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 (HSV-2) are asymptomatic. Historically, it has been assumed that these less frequent viral reactivation than those symptomatic infection.
Abstract Few population‐based case‐control studies have assessed etiologic factors for penile cancer. Past infection with high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a known risk factor cancer; however, few previous related the HPV DNA status of tumor to potential demographic and behavioral disease or evaluated whether in situ invasive cancer share factors. Little information available on role timing circumcision etiology We conducted study western Washington state that included 137 men...

Objective To develop a model to predict transmission of HIV-1 from men women. Design in seminal plasma, and endocervical CCR5 receptors were correlated with epidemiological studies probabilistic model. Settings Semen samples collected patient subjects Seattle Washington, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, St. Gallen, Switzerland. Endocervical biopsy specimens obtained women Chicago, Illinois. Participants Eighty-six (not receiving antireroviral therapy) whom CD4 cell count semen volume available,...
Both qualitative and quantitative virologic measurements were compared between blood genital compartments for 128 men infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to address several controversial issues concerning HIV-1 shedding in semen obtain further information about the distribution of these two compartments. Evidence viral compartmentalization was suggested by earlier studies that noted poor correlation seminal load, phenotype, genotype. Further support this based on...
Half of all men experience symptoms prostatitis at some time in their lives, but the etiology is unknown for more than 90% patients. Optimal clinical and culture methods were used to select 135 with chronic refractory multiple previous courses antimicrobial therapy. The subjects had no evidence structural or functional lower genitourinary tract abnormalities bacteriuria bacterial by traditional tests, urethritis urethral pathogens culture. Specific PCR assays detected Mycoplasma genitalium,...
The presence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in genital secretions may be a determinant vertical HIV-1 transmission. Cervical and vaginal from HIV-1-seropositive pregnant women were evaluated to determine prevalence correlates HIV-1-infected cells the tract. DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction 32% 212 cervical 10% 215 specimens. Presence cervix associated with mucopus significantly lower absolute CD4 cell count (354 vs. 469, P < .001).

During a 23-month study, we identified 1,233 patients with nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) among 40,718 consecutive admissions by using standardized, prospective system of hospital-wide surveillance. Nosocomial bloodstream (BSIs) occurred in 565 patients, 32 whom had BSIs originating from UTIs, for an attack rate 2.7 per 100 bacteriuria. Patients UTIs due to Serratia marcescens were most likely develop secondary (rate, 16 100) compared other organisms less than or equal 4.3 100; P...
The risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease as result rape is not known, in part because it difficult to ascertain whether infections were present before the assault or acquired during it. To investigate this question, we examined female victims within 72 hours and again at least one week after assault. Of 204 girls women initially rape, 88 (43 percent) found have disease. These diseases included caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (6 percent those tested), cytomegalovirus (8 percent),...

In men with chronic prostatitis-chronic pelvic pain syndrome, treatment alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers early in the course of disorder has been reported to be effective some, but not all, relatively small randomized trials.We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluate efficacy alfuzosin, an blocker, reducing symptoms syndrome. Participation study required diagnosis condition within preceding 2 years and no previous blocker. Men were randomly...

Background and Objectives Trichomoniasis is common among sexually active women, but its importance as a cause of morbidity men remains uncertain. Study Design The article outlines areas controversy presents pertinent new data from case-control natural history studies. Results: Trichomonas vaginalis was documented in 11% 447 at risk for transmitted disease. Although 54% infected complained urethral discharge, the discharge only mild or moderately severe. Elimination associated with resolution...
