Background

Clinical Features

STD Visual Diagnosis (Male)

STD Visual Diagnosis (Female)

Differential Diagnosis

Sexually transmitted diseases

Evaluation

Epididymitis/Epididymorchitis

  • For acute epididymitis likely caused by STI [2]
  • For acute epididymitis most likely caused by STI and enteric organisms (MSM)
  • For acute epididymitis most likely caused by enteric organisms

For persons weighing ≥150 kg, 1 g of ceftriaxone should be administered.


GC/Chlamydia Conjunctivitis

Chlamydial

  • Doxycycline 100mg PO BID for 7 days OR
  • Azithromycin 1g (20mg/kg) PO one time dose
  • Newborn Treatment: Azithromycin 20mg/kg PO once daily x 3 days or erythromycin PO 50 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses for 14 days [3]
    • Disease manifests 5 days post-birth to 2 weeks (late onset)

Gonococcal

  • Due to increasing resistance, CDC recommends dual therapy with Ceftriaxone and Azithromycin (even if patient is negative for Chlamydia).
  • Ceftriaxone 1g IM single dose PLUS
  • Azithromycin 1g PO one dose
  • Newborn Treatment:
    • Prophylaxis: Erythromycin ophthalmic 0.5% x1
    • Disease manifests 1st 5 days post delivery (early onset)
    • Treatment Ceftriaxone 25-50mg IV or IM, max 125mg or cefotaxime single dose of 100 mg/kg (preferred if the patient has hyperbilirubinemia)
    • Also requires evaluation for disseminated disease (meningitis, arthritis, etc.)

Proctitis

Inflammation of the rectum (distal 10-12cm)

Urethritis (male)

Uncomplicated Infection

Treatment to cover both gonorrhea and chlamydia Typically, treatment for both gonorrhea and chlamydia is indicated, if one entity is suspected.

Standard


Ceftriaxone contraindicated

^Additional chlamydia coverage only needed if treated with cefixime only

Partner Treatment

Recurrent or Persistent

Target M. genitalium

Consider coverage of trichomonas, among men who have sex with women
