Genital herpes is a recurrent viral disease that does not heal completely. Two serogypes of HSV were identified. HSV-1 and HSV-2; the cause of the majority of cases of recurrent genital herpes is HSV-2. According to serological studies, about 45 million people in the US are infected with HSV-2.
Primary syphilis is characterized by the development of a solid chancre (ulcus durum, primary syphiloma) at the site of the introduction of pale treponema and regional lymphangitis and lymphadenitis.
Syphilis is a chronic infectious disease transmitted predominantly through sexual intercourse. It is characterized by periodicity of the course and various clinical manifestations.
Manifestations of the secondary period of syphilis are characterized by an extraordinary variety of morphological elements, a predominant lesion of the skin, visible mucous membranes and to a lesser extent - changes in the internal organs, nervous system, musculoskeletal system.
Tertiary syphilis develops in patients who have received inferior treatment, or in the absence of it in the previous stages of syphilis. This stage appears on the 3-4th year of the disease and continues indefinitely.
Gonorrhea is an infectious disease caused by an infectious causative agent of the gonococcus, transmitted predominantly through sexual intercourse and characterized mainly by damage to the mucous membranes of the urogenital organs.
Shankroid (synonyms: the third venereal disease, mild chancroid, venereal ulcer) is found in Africa, Asia, and America. However, due to the growth of international relations and tourism, infection is possible.
For many years, genital herpes remained outside the area of attention of practitioners, which was primarily due to the inadequate capabilities of laboratory diagnostics of herpesvirus infection, the underestimation of the role of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human infectious pathology, and the lack of effective therapies.
