Study Notes
Chlamydia
- Most prevalent STD worldwide
- Transmitted via respiratory droplets
- Infection (new or latent) treated with isoniazid for 6-9 months
- Prevent progression to active disease by treating HIV infected persons with isoniazid and antiretrovirals
- Transmission: Direct person-to-person via unprotected sex and from mother to fetus/infant (during pregnancy or breastfeeding)
TB
- Transmitted primarily by respiratory droplets
- Infections (new or latent) treated with isoniazid.
- Prevents progression to active disease.
- Treat HIV-infected individuals with isoniazid and antiretrovirals.
HIV
- Transmission: Direct person-to-person through unprotected sex
- Transfer from mother to infant possible (during birth or breastfeeding)
Hepatitis B (HEPB)
- Incubation period: 60–90 days, range 45–180 days
Pertussis
- General unimmunized populations at risk
- Unimmunized children under 5 years most susceptible
- No passive immunity from mother
- Infection with pertussis confers immunity, but it is not life-long
Tetanus
- Etiological agent: Clostridium tetani
- Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria (anaerobic pathogen)
Gonorrhea
- Report to local health department.
Measles
- Transmission: Direct/indirect contact with nasal or throat secretions of infected persons.
- Highly communicable
- Infants of mothers with disease are protected for 6–9 months
Syphilis
- Etiological agent: Treponema pallidum (bacteria)
- Causes infection by entering through broken skin or mucous membranes, often genitals.
