STDs, STIs & HIV/AIDS
Statement of the Problem:
The emergence of multi-drug
resistant sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is causing a
treatment crisis across the globe. Due to extensive usage of
antibiotics in the recent past, infectious agents developed
resistance to those antibiotics commonly used for treatment.
As results such resistant strains becoming a public health
problem in a number of countries including India. NAAT
basedmethods are able to determinemultiplemisuse and /or
overuse of antibiotics from a single DNA sample. By studying
the specific infection causing pathogens
(Chlaymydia
trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas
vaginalis)
that enrolled in the study and recommended
treatments using NACO recommended NACP guidelines with
Infection treatments with laboratory measures.
Findings:
Misuse and overuse of antibiotics in 588
syndromically treated women, 46(7.82%) women tested
positive whereas 542(92.17%) samples were negative for
these three pathogens as determined by PCR based assay.
The total estimated percentage of the overuse and misuse of
antibiotics in the study were 72.17% and 8.69% respectively.
Correct and complete treatment estimated it compared
to laboratory measures and NACP was 42/46 (91.30%).
The overuse of antibiotics prevalence were estimated
Azithromycin and Cifixime (55.90%), combination of Dixycilin,
Cefixime and Metrodizonole (31.18%) and combination of
Dixycilin, Cifixime, Metrodizonole, Azithromycin (13.65%).
Recommendations clearly demonstrate that the prevalence
of infections is still significant among female patients visiting
Obstetrics & Gynecology Departments. The study underpins
the need to conduct diagnostic assays for identification
of causative pathogen before implementing antibiotic
treatment to patients with vaginal discharge. It also divulges
the need to review the use of syndromic case management
for controlling sexually transmitted diseases.
