What are the complications and sequelae5 of RTIs? In adults In children • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) • Stillbirths • Ectopic pregnancy • Prematurity, low birth weight • Spontaneous abortions • Congenital syphilis • Post-partum infections • Conjunctivitis and blindness • Infertility (male & female) • Pneumonia • Cancers (cervical, anal, penile, liver) • Increased HIV transmission
04/03/09
Trichomoniasis 6
• Caused by Trichomonas vaginalis • Is usually sexually transmitted • Incubation period 3-28 days • Affects women more than men • Presents with a vaginal discharge – Scanty to profuse, usually yellow-green tinted – can be atypical depending on host factors
04/03/09
7
Trichomoniasis • Can present with vulval erythema, oedema and excoriations • Cervix may be involved – "strawberry cervix" • Asymptomatic in 50% of cases • Accounts for 15-20% of cases of vaginitis • Associated with a 2-6 fold increase in risk of HIV transmission*

Trichomonas vaginalis and Pregnancy • Associated with low birth weight • Preterm delivery • Preterm delivery of low birth weight baby • Perinatal transmission – only with female offspring in about 5% of cases − May present with Vg discharge in infant − Usually self-limiting in the infant (3-4 weeks)
04/03/09
Bacterial 9vaginosis • A clinical polymicrobial syndrome characterized by: − an increase in gram-negative anaerobic bacteria (Gardnerella vaginalis, Mobiluncus spp, Prevotella spp, Bacteroides, Peptostreptococcus, Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas, Mycoplasma hominis, etc.) − a reduction in the concentration of Lactobacilli • It is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age − asymptomatic in about 50% of women

Trichomonas vaginalis and Pregnancy 10
• Associated with low birth weight • Preterm delivery • Preterm delivery of low birth weight baby • Perinatal transmission – only with female offspring in about 5% of cases − May present with Vg discharge in infant − Usually self-limiting in the infant (3-4 weeks)

04/03/09
Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis 15 Clinical criteria Nugent's criteria- assigns a score of 0-10 based on different bacterial morphotypes seen in the stained smear. A score of: 0-3 Normal 4-6 intermediate 7-10 is consistent with bacterial vaginosis • Good intra-observer agreement • High reproducibility • Sensitivity of 85-90% • Specificity of more than 90%

17 Bacterial vaginosis and pregnancy
Evidence of an association between BV • first trimester miscarriage • mid-trimester (16-20 wk) abortion • preterm birth - specifically preterm delivery < 30 wk that results in births of newborns < 1000 g • Preterm rupture of membranes • chorioamnionitis • Postpartum endometritis • Post-abortion infections • Post-procedural infections

Bacterial vaginosis and pregnancy 18
It has been speculated that BV • facilitates access of bacteria into the amniotic cavity • remains in the uterine cavity as a chronic infection

Managing asymptomatic BV infection in pregnant women 19
Some studies show that treatment of pregnant women with BV, who have a history of preterm delivery (high risk), might reduce the risk for prematurity •Screening and treating in pregnancy − might be beneficial for asymptomatic, high risk women − should be conducted at the earliest part of the 2nd trimester to be of benefit

BV and HIV 21
Evidence that BV and HIV are related • Theoretical basis • Epidemiological observations • Therapeutic intervention studies
04/03/09
Theoretical 22 basis BV characterised by: – absence of Lactobacilli – low H2O2 – high pH Conditions believed to be conducive to increased susceptibility to HIV infection

Epidemiological Observations 24
Epidemiological association found in cross-sectional and prospective studies • Relationship is dose-dependent – severe BV is associated with increasing risk of HIV infection – relative risk of HIV acquisition = 2 to 4

Vaginal and iatrogenic infections 31
Vaginal infections • are most common cause of RTIs in women • are associated with adverse outcomes of pregnancy • are associated with increased susceptibility to HIV infection • are associated with high health-care costs to individual women and to health-care system • due to iatrogenic infections, contribute heavily to burden of maternal morbidity and mortality (true magnitude unknown)

Background & objectives:34Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginal discharge among women in reproductive age. Surveillance studies on bacterial vaginosis are mostly based on specialist clinic settings. As few population-based prevalence surveys of bacterial vaginosis have been conducted, we studied the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in the urban and rural communities in Delhi, and to associate the presence of bacterial vaginosis with demoraphic profile, risk factors and presence of other reproductive tract infections (RTIs)/ sexually

35
Results: Bacterial vaginosis was diagnosed in 70 (32.8%) subjects. A high percentage though asymptomatic (31.2%) were found to have bacterial vaginosis. Highest prevalence was seen in urban slum (38.6%) followed by rural (28.8%) and urban middle class community (25.4%). All women with vaginal trichomoniasis were found to have bacterial vaginosis while 50 per cent of subjects having syphilis also had bacterial

36
Interpretation & conclusion: The study showed high prevalence of bacterial vaginosis. The asymptomatic women having bacterial vaginosis are less likely to seek treatment for the morbidity and thus are more likely to acquire other STIs. Women attending various healthcare facilities should be screened and treated for bacterial vaginosis to reduce the risk of

The maturation of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome epidemic has now claimed 37 worldwide, the majority in more than 12 million women undeveloped countries where human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections coexist and interact synergistically. Among HIV-infected women, there is excessive morbidity due to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and gynecologic disorders. This review summarizes the expanding understanding of vaginal flora, vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and genital ulcer disease in HIV-infected women. In addition to the altered clinical course, complications, and management difficulties of STDs, some gynecologic infections may influence HIV transmission as well as the vertical transmission of HIV to the newborn. Finally, severe immunodeficiency allows unusual opportunistic pathogens to invade the upper and lower genital tract. Control and prevention of gynecologic infections in HIVpositive and HIV-negative women are key components to preventing further HIV transmission. 04/03/09
