Abstract
Abstract: There has been an exponential increase in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States, causing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to declare an epidemic. Current evidence demonstrates that extragenital STIs of the oropharynx and rectum are often asymptomatic and may not be associated with concurrent positive urogenital infections. As a result, these infections are often missed in primary care. Furthermore, guidelines only recommend extragenital site testing in men who have sex with men, excluding oropharyngeal chlamydia, despite evidence that extragenital STIs are occurring in other high-risk populations as well. A case report is provided to enhance primary health care providers' knowledge of extragenital STIs and promote early recognition and testing to improve patient outcomes.
摘要:美国性传播感染(STIs)呈指数级增长，美国疾病控制与预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cdc)宣布sti已进入流行病。目前的证据表明，口咽和直肠的生殖器外性传播感染通常是无症状的，可能与并发阳性泌尿生殖系统感染无关。因此，这些感染往往在初级保健中被遗漏。此外，指南只建议对男男性行为者进行生殖器外部位检测，不包括口咽衣原体，尽管有证据表明生殖器外性传播感染也发生在其他高危人群中。提供了一份病例报告，以加强初级保健提供者对生殖器外性传播感染的知识，促进早期识别和检测，以改善患者的治疗结果。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
