Aim To evaluate and compare syndromic management for reproductive tract infection for assessing treatment strategies. Methods In a prospective study, 250 sexually active, non-pregnant women aged 18-50 years, presenting with symptoms of lower genital tract infections were recruited as part of a prospective study from urban clinics in Mumbai. Participants underwent clinical and gynaecological examination, and standard syndromic management was provided. Samples were collected prior to treatment for Nugent scoring, Candida culture, and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Results The mean age of participants was 32.5 ± 6.6 years, with 51.2% (n=128) belonging to the upper-lower socioeconomic class. Vaginal discharge was the most common symptom (42%, n=105). Aetiological analysis identified causative agents in 90% (n=225) of cases, while 10% (n=25) showed no identifiable aetiology. The most prevalent pathogens were Ureaplasma parvum (47.2%) and Candida species (44.4%), followed by those causing bacterial vaginosis (39.2%). Among Candida species, Candida albicans (47.1%) and Candida krusei (45.2%) were most common. In contrast, Chlamydia trachomatis (3.2%) and Mycoplasma genitalium (1.2%) were less prevalent, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was not detected. Syndromic management led to overtreatment rates exceeding 96% for these low-prevalence pathogens, raising concerns about AMR. Limitations Since this study is bounded to urban community clinics it limits the expansion to rural scene and AMR tests were not conducted due to the fastidious nature of microbes in the study and implementation challenges in resource limiting settings. Conclusion Syndromic management remains feasible in resource-limited settings; however, its limitations in addressing low-prevalence pathogens emphasise the need for periodic aetiological testing to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide appropriate treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144876592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review aims to highlight key viral, bacterial, fungal, and enteric infections that are newly identified or increasingly transmitted through sexual contact, introducing the concept of sexually transmissible infections.

The disease itself or the side effects of medications can play a crucial role in the development of sexual dysfunction. Aim Assessment of the occurrence of sexual dysfunction in female patients with acne vulgaris. Methods The study included 82 women diagnosed with acne vulgaris and 133 female controls without skin diseases. The sexual health of the subjects was assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) via an online anonymous questionnaire. Additional information regarding patients' medical history was analyzed. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the total FSFI score between patients and controls (p > 0.05). Patients had significantly higher scores than controls in the satisfaction domain (p < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the question about the subjective effect of skin condition on sexual desire and the likelihood of sexual dysfunction in the FSFI (p < 0.05, r = 0.33). Patients using retinoids had a slightly reduced FSFI (p = 0.44), which correlated negatively with retinoid use (p = 0.0428, r = -0.4257). Women receiving oral retinoids had downward trends in the satisfaction and pain domains (p = 0.41 and p = 0.198, respectively). Retinoid treatment was negatively correlated with the overall FSFI lubrication domain score (p = 0.0423, r = -0.4268). In addition, there was also a negative correlation between retinoid therapy and the overall FSFI orgasm domain score (p = 0.0024, r = -0.6014). Limitations The inability to evaluate the severity of acne vulgaris; the relatively small sample size; no matching of cases and controls with respect to age; and the lack of physician-confirmed data regarding the effectiveness of the administered treatment. Conclusions Some female patients with acne vulgaris may be at higher risk of sexual dysfunction. Decreased self-esteem and the general psychological burden of this dermatosis may negatively influence sexual functioning, so it is important to pay attention to this aspect. Patients who need help in this area should be referred to appropriate specialists.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144876514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
