GENITOURINARY SYSTEM
- organs of the reproductive system and the
urinary system
- grouped together because of their proximity to
each other, their common embryological origin
and the use of common pathways
Viral Sexually Transmitted Diseases
- STDs/STIs are either viral or bacterial.
- A viral infection is caused by a virus and cannot
be cured. However, although a virus will remain
in the body for life, symptoms of the virus might
not be present at all times.
- A bacterial infection is caused by a bacterial
organism, and the active infection can be cured.
System: Genitourinary System
Disease: Anogenital herpes viral infections
(genital herpes)
Characteristics: localized primary lesion, latency,
and a tendency to localized recurrence
Sites:
Women: cervix and vulva, with recurrent disease
affecting the vulva, perineal skin, legs, and buttocks
Men: penis and in the anus and rectum of those
engaging in anal sex
Symptoms: itching, tingling, and soreness,
followed by a small patch of redness and then a
group of small, painful blisters. The blisters break
and fuse to form painful, circular sores, which
become crusted after a few days. The sores heal in
about 10 days but may leave scars. The initial
outbreak is more painful, prolonged, and
widespread than subsequent outbreaks and may be
associated with fever
Treatment/Prevention: Standard Precautions
for hospitalized patients; add Contact Precautions
for severe disseminated or primary mucocutaneous
herpes.
Causative Pathogen/Virus: usually caused by
HSV-2, occasionally caused by HSV-1
Mode of Transmission: human reservoir. A
direct sexual contact or oral–genital, oral–anal, or
anal–genital contact during the presence of lesions.
Mother-to-fetus or mother to-neonate transmission
occurs during pregnancy and birth
System: Genitourinary System
Disease: Genital warts (genital papillomatosis,
condyloma acuminatum)
Characteristics: tiny, soft, moist, pink or red
swellings, which grow rapidly and may develop
stalks. Rough surfaces give them the appearance of
small cauliflowers, can be malignant
Sites:
Women: vulva, vaginal wall, cervix, and skin
surrounding the vaginal area
Men: penis
Both: Also develop around the anus and in the
rectum in men or women who engage in anal sex
Symptoms: small, flesh-coloured or grey painless
growths or lumps, itching or bleeding, change to
your normal flow of pee (for example, sideways)
Pathogen: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), also known
as human herpesvirus 4. It is a DNA virus in the
family Herpesviridae. EBV infects and transforms B
cells, although it also infects other types of cells.
EBV is known to be oncogenic (cancer causing),
causing or being associated with lymphomas (e.g.,
Hodgkin disease and Burkitt lymphoma),
carcinomas (e.g., nasopharyngeal carcinoma and
gastric carcinoma), and sarcomas, among other
cancers.
Transmission: Transmission occurs via direct
contact, usually sexual; through breaks in skin or
mucous membranes; or from mother to neonate
during birth
