Inflammatory Diseases
Inflammatory Diseases
Inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs occupy one of the leading places in
the pathology of the genitals and are a common cause of disability, infertility and other
complications. Knowledge of etiology, methods of diagnostics and treatment of inflammatory
diseases of female genital organs is necessary for the doctor of any profile in his practical
activity.
Inflammatory diseases of female genital organs, sexually transmitted diseases, occupy
one of the leading places in gynecological morbidity. Of great importance is the wide range of
pathogens of these diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases often cause impaired reproductive
function and performance. Accordingly, future physicians should be acquainted with the features
of the etiology, pathogenesis, clinics, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.
Inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs remain one of the most pressing
medical problems of this century, due to the increasing number of clinical cases, reaching more
than half of all gynecological diseases; "Rejuvenation" and also affect the health of millions of
women of all ages.
The untimely or inadequate treatment of inflammatory diseases of the genital organs
leads to chronicity of the process and is the cause of infertility, ectopic pregnancies, pelvic pain ,
which cause suffering and even disability of women at the age of social activity.
Frequency
Patients with inflammatory diseases of the genital organs make up 60-65% of
gynecological patients who have gone to a women's consultation and 30% who are directed to
hospital treatment.
An important role in the occurrence of inflammatory diseases of the genitals is the so-
called normal genital microflora.
The vaginal microflora normally contains:
rod-like flora: lactobacilli that support acidic environments; corinebacteria and
diphtheroids.
coccal flora: anaerobic and in most aerobic cocci, hemolytic and non-hemolytic
streptococci beta- hemolytic streptococcus, enterococcus. Less common
are Klebsiella,enterobacteria and representatives of the species Rroteus , Escherichia coli, and
fungi of the genus Candida .
According to VA Shenderov, the normal activity of endogenous microflora provides:
competition of microorganisms for nutrients.
stimulation of mucosal epithelial motility and processes of its renewal on the
surface of the villi.
production of short-chain fatty acids, peroxides , bacteriocins , lysozyme and
other antimicrobial substances.
detoxification of antibiotics through their adsorption or biotransformation .
induction of an immune response that has cross-reactions against pathogens.
production of stimulants of immunogenesis and activators of phagocytic and
enzymatic activity.
The vaginal microflora is also affected by endogenous factors. Under the influence of
estrogens, the formation of glycogen and mucin increases, the vascularization of the vaginal
wall increases , which stimulates the virulent signs of pathogenic microbes. The number of
aerobes decreases in the pre-menstrual period, in the secretory phase of the cycle there is a
decrease in the number of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and stimulation of the
growth of lactobacilli.
Genital microorganisms that are constantly present in the genital tract can become
virulent under favorable conditions and cause the development of inflammatory diseases of the
genitals. An obstacle to their activation and participation in inflammation are physiological
protective mechanisms :
1. Physiological desquamation and cytolysis of the surface cells of the vaginal
epithelium, which are caused by the action of ovarian hormones.
2. Non-specific antimicrobial mechanisms acting at the cellular level: phagocytosis by
macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Non-specific humoral factors: iron-
binding plasma transferrin protein required for the growth of many bacteria; opsonins that
enhance cell phagocytic activity; lysozyme is a peptide that has antimicrobial activity; lysine,
which is secreted by platelets in the area of inflammation.
3. Immune mechanisms of protection against fungal, viral infection, intracellular bacterial
parasites. These include T-lymphocytes, immunoglobulins, the complement system.
Microcenosis of the cervical canal, especially its lower divisions, in healthy women is
virtually indistinguishable from microcenosis of the vagina, but the number of microorganisms
in the canal is less than in the vagina and aerobic-anaerobic associations prevail in it. That is,
local factors of protection in the cervical canal help to maintain sterility of the endometrium and
create optimal conditions for the development of healthy offspring.
For the upper parts of the reproductive system, the protective mechanisms at the level of
the cervical canal and endometrium are of particular importance . The mucus that accumulates in
the cervical canal is a kind of barrier that divides the lower and upper parts of the genital tract. In
the cervical mucus are antibacterial substances, antibodies to such microorganisms as
Escherichia coli, gonococci, salmonella, herpes simplex virus and Candida fungi . The uterus has
a protective function in the endometrium , which prevents the microorganisms from penetrating
the periodic abruption of its functional layer during menstruation.
Ways of spreading the infection. The penetration of infectious agents into the upper
genital tract occurs with the help of sperm, trichomonas, possible passive transport of
microorganisms, the last place is occupied by hematogenous and lymphogenous pathways.
The ability of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, chlamydia and mycoplasma to attach to
sperm has been proven. The semen plays a particularly important role in the transmission of
gonorrhea. Chlamydia is usually attached to the sperm, whereby the more chlamydia, the more
sperm they attach. As the pH decreases , the phenomenon of adhesion of chlamydia increases.
Trichomonads also carry infections into the upper genital tract . The role
of trichomonads as vectors is indicated by the fact that it is impossible to
isolate trichomonads without communication with other microorganisms.
Factors contributing to genital infection. The penetration of infection into the upper
genital tract can be facilitated by intrauterine procedures
(probing, hysterosalpingography , hysteroscopy , pertubation , hydrotubation , genital surgery,
termination of pregnancy).
Intrauterine contraceptives are important in the spread of infection . The risk of
developing inflammatory processes of uterine appendages in women who
carry intrauterine contraceptives is increased 4-fold. Especially high risk is in women who have
not given birth. It is established that 2 days after the introduction of an intrauterine contraceptive,
the microbial contamination of the uterus increases dramatically.
The use of oral contraceptives, according to the researchers, reduces the risk of
inflammatory genital diseases.
With the onset of menstruation, the composition of genital microflora changes both
quantitatively and qualitatively, which plays a significant role in the occurrence of inflammatory
processes of the genitals. In the pre-menstrual period, the concentration of aerobic bacteria
decreases approximately 100 times, respectively, increasing the concentration of anaerobes. The
use of vaginal swabs during menstruation reduces oxygen access, which promotes the
development of pathogenic anaerobic populations and can provoke inflammation of the upper
genital tract.
The inflammatory process is the most common complication of artificial abortion. The
inflammation begins within the first 5 days after surgery, sometimes after 2-3 weeks. The risk
of post-abortion inflammatory processes is dramatically increased when pathogenic flora is
present in the cervical canal. The abortion operation itself leads to a weakening of the local
defense system: bacteria that make up the normal cervical and vaginal flora in certain conditions
can have pathological properties.
Postpartum infection is also important among the causes of inflammatory processes of the
genitals. Complicated pregnancy, childbirth, and especially caesarean section contribute to the
development of inflammation, and after planned caesarean sections 3-5 times less than after
emergency.
To risk factors include inflammatory diseases and gynecological
surgery. Vaginal hysterectomy is the highest risk since there is a direct correlation between the
development of inflammation and the contact between the vaginal environment and the
abdominal cavity.
In this regard, there are 4 degrees of purity of vaginal content:
The first degree of purity of the vagina. It is a variant of the norm for women leading a
sexual life and the only norm for girls and adolescents. The vaginal discharge is transparent,
reminiscent of well-cooked starch. The smear contains epithelial cells and a pure culture
of Dederlein's wand (a fairly thick gram-positive wand), the presence of single leukocytes and a
small amount of mucus. Acid release reaction ( pH 4.0-4.5). Such a picture of the contents of the
vagina of a healthy woman is rare.
The second degree of purity of the vagina . It is an option for women leading
a sexual life. Macroscopic selection of semi-liquid, grayish-white color. In smear
sticks Dederleyna becomes smaller, there is a different flora, mainly saprophytes ( Gram-
negative wand, Gram-positive diplococci, etc.), there are epithelial cells, leukocytes bit (10 in
view of the microscope), a large amount of mucus. The reaction of excretion remains acidic
( pH 4.5-5.0).
The third degree of purity of the vagina . Macroscopic excretion of yellowish, rare. In
the smear, a small number of Dederlein sticks , many diverse coccal flora (including streptococci
and staphylococci), many leukocytes, are epithelial cells. The reaction of excretion is weakly
acidic or slightly alkaline ( pH 5.0-7.2). This pattern of vaginal content is characteristic of the
inflammatory process in the vagina ( colpitis ).
The fourth degree of purity of the vagina . Macroscopically discharge thick, yellow,
purulent, in the case of trichomonas colpitis - foamy. In bacillus smear Dederleyna missing many
white blood cells and various pathogens and pus (staphylococcus and streptococcus, E. coli,
gonococci, Trichomonas ). Alkaline reaction ( pH > 7.5).
Classification of inflammatory diseases of the genitals:
In general, urogenital diseases are divided into: specific, non-specific and sexually
transmitted diseases.
1. By clinical course:
1) acute diseases
2) subacute diseases
3) chronic diseases
2. In severity:
1) Easy
2) average
3) heavy
3. By location:
1) inflammation of the genital organs of the lower division: vulva , bartolinin gland,
vagina, cervix, exocervicitis , endocervicitis ( vulvitis , bartolinitis, colpitis , vaginitis and
others)
2) inflammation of the upper genital organs, uterine, uterus, kltikovyny organs, the
peritoneum of the pelvis (endometritis, metroendometritis , panmetryt , perimetrity,
salpingitis, oophoritis , Gidrosalpinks , piosalpinks , piovarium , perysalpinhit ,
parametrit, pelvioperitonit )
VULVIT
Vulvitis is an inflammation of the external genitals of a woman. There are primary and
secondary vulvitis . The appearance of the primary form is facilitated by non-observance of
genital hygiene, chemical, thermal, mechanical irritations, rashes, diabetes, and the
like. Secondary vulvitis occurs as a result of infection of the external genital organs by
pathogenic microorganisms contained in vaginal discharge in colpitis , cervicitis, endometritis.
In women of reproductive age, vulvitis occurs against the background of ovarian
hypofunction, avitaminosis, and is more common in postmenopausal girls and women .
Clinic
In acute vulvitis there is hyperemia and swelling of the external genitals, serous-purulent
layers. Patients complain of pain, itching, heartburn, often - a general weakness. In the chronic
stage, these manifestations subside but are periodically renewed.
Diagnosis .
It is based on the clinical picture described. To establish the pathogen, it is advisable to
carry out bacteriological and bacterioscopic examination of secretions. The inflammatory
process must be primary or secondary.
Treatment .
First of all it is aimed at eliminating the disease, which is complicated by vulvitis . In the
acute period used decoction of chamomile flowers, a weak solution of potassium permanganate,
boric acid. In bacterial, fungal, parasitic hives, the preparation for treatment is selected
depending on the pathogen.
VULVOVAGINITIS
This disease is more common in girls 3-8 years of age and older. The emergence
of vulvovaginitis in girls is facilitated by acute infectious diseases, various endocrine disorders,
eating disorders, chronic diseases of the nasopharynx.
Classification. In girls, vulvovaginitis is divided into: bacterial, mycotic , trichomonas ,
viral.
Clinic. Clinically, vulvovaginitis is characterized by mild symptoms - hyperemia and
poor discharge.
Diagnosis. The diagnosis is made on the basis of examination and study of vaginal and
vulvar discharge.
Treatment. The treatment is aimed at eliminating the causes of the disease, rehabilitation
of foci of inflammation, hardening of the body.
BARTOLINITE
Bartolini - an inflammation of one or both of the two Bartolini andis ref glands located on
either side of the entrance to the vagina, labia for. Inflammation often occurs after an
infection , which Pereda S ARE during sexual intercourse , but in many cases
the inflammation is not transmitted sexually through .
Forms of bartolinite . Because of the volume and localization of the site lesions
distinguish such forms of bartolinite, such as:
- to anal and bullets and t - the infection got into the excretory duct of the gland and caused
its inflammation, there are no pronounced symptoms.
- to the essence of bartol of a new gland - at the closed excretory channel the secret of a
gland due to absence of an outflow accumulates in the educated cavity, suppuration the
fabric of the gland itself and the surrounding fiber is thus.
- abscess Bartoli and neo her cancer - the inflammatory process involved in
tissue bartolynovoy gland and surrounding tissue.
- x Bartholinitis - a chronic form of the disease is periodically exacerbated by factors such as
hypothermia, decreased immunity, menstruation, and so on. Outside of exacerbation,
there may be slight pain from the affected gland, discomfort during intercourse. During
the period of exacerbation, symptoms similar to those of acute bartholinitis occur.
Clinic . The main symptoms of bartholinitis include pain and soreness in the labia
(internal lips) , n aberration in the same place , and small discharge in the labia.
Diagnosis. The diagnosis is based on review data. In order to choose the most effective
treatment, the doctor may prescribe such studies as general blood, urine; screening
for urogenital infections, laboratory research secret Bartolo al ovo her cancer or abnormal
discharge from her and others.
Treatment. In most cases, after determining the cause that caused the development of
bartolinite, antibacterial therapy is selected taking into account the sensitivity of microorganisms
to antibiotics, treatment of the inflamed area with antiseptic agents, a course of physiotherapy
treatment may be prescribed. Treatment abscess Bartoli and neo her cancer surgery mostly -
carried disclosure cavity drainage and treatment, if necessary appointed medical
therapy. Gynecologists of the Central Medical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences will
select the most effective and fast treatment of bartolinite. Treatment of
cysts Bartoli and neo her cancer as well, mainly surgical, outside the period of
exacerbation. Removal of cysts Bartoli and new th gland abscess and
disclosure Bartoli and neo her cancer is possible in a day hospital (no daily admission).
Removal of a cyst of a Bartolin gland appoint at:
chronic bartholinitis ;
accumulation in the gland of purulent discharge ;
degeneration of glandular tissues ;
the risk of sepsis;
lack of effect of drug treatment ;
discomfort during a walking and sexual life .
ENDOCERVICITIS
ENDOMETRITES.
Acute endometritis.
The disease occurs after abortions, births and various intrauterine procedures. In etiology,
there are associations of several anaerobes with aerobes.
Clinic. Symptoms of the disease occur 3-4 days after the infection: there is a fever,
chills; leukocytosis is detected in the blood, shift of the leukocyte formula to the left,
acceleration of ESR.
In vaginal examination: serous-purulent discharge from the cervical canal, uterus
spherical, enlarged, painful on palpation, soft-elastic consistency.
The diagnosis is based on:
1. History (abortion, complicated childbirth, etc.)
2. Clinical examination data
3. Bacteriological and bacterioscopic examinations.
Chronic endometritis.
The issue of chronic endometritis is debatable. The transition of acute endometritis to
chronic is considered doubtful.
Chronic endometritis is a clinical and anatomical concept. There are its
following morphological variants:
1. atrophic, in which there is marked atrophy of the glands, stroma fibrosis, infiltration of
its lymphoid elements;
2. cystic , when fibrous tissue compresses the ducts of glands with the formation of
cysts;
3. hypertrophic - when there is hyperplasia of the mucous membrane.
As a result of changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary system, the endocrine function of the
ovaries is reduced and the ovulation process is impaired.
Clinic. The main symptom of the disease is uterine bleeding:
1. pre- and post-menstrual bleeding associated with impaired desquamation and
regeneration of the functional layer;
2. menstrual bleeding associated with increased vascular permeability of
the endometrium during ovulation. In patients with endometritis, there is often a change in
secretory function in the form of serous or serous-purulent discharge from the genital
tract. Complaints about aching lower abdomen are constantly reported.
In vaginal examination: serous discharge from the cervical canal, moderate enlargement
of the uterus, dense consistency.
Diagnosis. The diagnosis of chronic endometritis is based on:
1. Clinical manifestations
2. Diagnostic scraping of the uterine mucosa with subsequent histological examination of
the scrapers
3. Hysteroscopy
4. Ultrasound - there is an alternation of hyperechogenicity zones (0.1 to 0.2 cm in
diameter), which are areas of fibrosis, sclerosis and calcification , and zones of
reduced echogenicity .
Treatment. In chronic endometritis use sedative, desensitizing, vitamin
preparations. Physiotherapy procedures take a significant place in treatment. In the case of
undermined ovarian function and disease up to 2 years, the use of UHF magnetic field and
centimeter waves is shown; if the process progresses for more than 2 years pulsed ultrasound or
zinc electrophoresis is recommended.
In order to stop uterine bleeding, use hormonal hemostasis and the introduction into the
uterus of a solution of aminocaproic acid 5% by 3-5 ml for 5-7 days.
The remission stage shows spa treatment ( peloid - and balneotherapy).
SALPINGOFORITIS
Acute salpingoophoritis .
There are 4 stages of the disease ( Monit , 1982)
I. Acute endometritis and salpingitis without signs of pelvic inflammation.
II. Acute endometritis and salpingitis with signs of peritoneal irritation.
III. Acute salpingoophoritis with occlusion of the fallopian tubes and development
of tubo-ovarian formation.
IV. The rupture of tubo-ovarian formation.
In the clinical picture of acute salpingitis there are 2 phases: And - toxic, clinical
manifestations due to the influence of aerobic flora; in the second phase anaerobic flora joins,
which leads to the aggravation of the symptoms and the development of complications. In this
phase, tuboovarian formations with purulent contents are formed , which threaten perforation.
Clinic. Complaints of fever, worsening of general condition, severe abdominal pain,
chills, dysuric phenomena. In the first days of the disease, the abdomen is painful, tense on
palpation, the phenomenon of muscular protection may appear.
In vaginal examination: discharge from the cervical canal serous-purulent, plentiful,
appendages for palpation painful, increased in size, pasty, their mobility is limited, the contours
of the appendix are not clear enough.
In blood tests - shift of leukocyte formula to the left, leukocytosis, acceleration of ESR.
Chronic salpingoophoritis .
It is most often the result of untreated acute salpingoophoritis . The chronic stage of the
process is characterized by the presence of infiltrates, the loss of physiological functions of the
mucous and muscular membranes of the fallopian tube, the development of connective tissue,
sclerotic processes with impaired uterine patency, and the connective process around the ovaries.
PARAMETERITIS
SEPTIC SHOCK
SEPTICEMIA
Septicemia is a form of sepsis characterized by the absence of purulent metastases as
with septicemia and a rapid course .
Septicemia is characterized by an increase in vascular-tissue permeability, the
development of fibrinoid changes in the walls of blood vessels, allergic vasculitis, with which
the manifestations of hemorrhagic syndrome are significantly associated.
Etiology
The causative agents of this disease are pathogenic bacteria, rarely cause a variety of
fungi or viruses. Germs can enter the body through small open wounds, as well as the
progression of various inflammatory processes, such as sinusitis or inflammation of the kidneys
( lymphogenous and hematogenous).
In addition to bacteria, poisonous substances that they secrete (toxins) spread throughout
the body. They cause damage to organs, tissues or systems, and cause toxic shock.
Classification
Depending on the causes, there are several forms of blood contamination: septicemia
and septicopemia .
Septicemia is characterized by the appearance of purulent foci at different loci of the
internal organs or tissues of the body. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are
the main causative agents . The disease proceeds moderately, without a clear expression of any
symptoms.
Hemorrhagic septicemia is a very rare type of infection. It is characterized by
inflammation of the skin, joints, bones, and bone marrow. The disease causes
a pasteurellal microbe , the transmission pathway is from pets. The virus enters the body through
bites, scratches. At the site of skin damage, a seal is formed which causes severe pain.
In turn, this type of blood contamination is divided into several forms:
skin - inflammation of the skin of the person, the skin gets a red tint, there is
swelling. Touching the bite or scratching area causes a person to experience severe pain;
pulmonary - a pathological process is observed in the bronchi and
lungs. Symptoms include severe cough with sputum discharge and chest pain;
septic - as the virus spreads with the flow of blood, the pathological process is
exposed to more organs and tissues.
Bacterial septicemia - a special type of sepsis, a characteristic feature of which is the
appearance of purulent tumors on the heart valves. There is also an increase in the size of the
spleen and kidney damage. Most often cause streptococci and staphylococci disease.
Diplococcal septicemia - infection occurs from penetration into the body
of diplococcus . This process is accompanied by inflammation of the lungs, intestines and
joints. A person is exposed to this form of illness very rarely.
Streptococcal septicemia is a consequence of infectious diseases that have been caused
by different groups of this bacterium.
Viral septicemia is a rare type of sepsis found in humans. The disease affects the internal
organs and systems, causes the formation of hemorrhage under the skin or mucous membranes.
Septicemia unspecified - a generic concept that includes a wide range of diseases of
unknown nature. Such a diagnosis is made when it is impossible to determine the exact type of
microorganisms that caused the disease. In most cases, death occurs because rapid illness can be
fatal faster than treatment will begin.
Clinic
high temperature,
cold,
delirium,
shortness of breath with the development of respiratory failure,
accelerated heart rate.
Diagnosis .
Diagnosis is based on the study of blood tests, content from the focus of the inflammatory
process, as well as carried out bacteriological sowing to clarify the sensitivity of bacteria to
antibiotics. Hardware research includes ultrasound required to detect internal organ damage
Principles of treatment
Septicemia therapy should be performed only in a hospital setting. Treatment of the
disease is similar to the elimination of infectious diseases, but when choosing medicines should
take into account the causes of this disease. Often patients are prescribed:
antibiotics and antiviral drugs to determine which microorganism has become the
pathogen;
medicines to reduce the general intoxication of the body;
medicinal substances aimed at the correction of disturbed processes in the body;
glucose solution - with strong intoxication of the body;
hormonal drugs;
antipyretics.
In cases of hemorrhagic septicemia, in which abscesses are formed on the internal organs,
a medical intervention is prescribed - opening and purification of abscesses, removal of affected
areas, washing of purulent wounds with antiseptics.
During treatment, the patient should be provided with maximum rest and diet. In severe
human condition, this process is carried out intravenously. Septicemia is characterized by a
lightning current, so fatalities occur in more than half of cases. In addition, people who have
suffered a blood infection may remain disabled.
There is no specific prevention of the disease, as no one is protected from the penetration
of bacteria into the body through scratches or bites. Prevention is the timely treatment of
infectious diseases and treatment of the skin in case of violation of its integrity by antiseptic
substances.
TRIHOMONIASIS
UREOPLASMOSIS
Clinic
Symptoms appear within 3-5 weeks of infection . Patients complain of discomfort in the inguinal
area, itching with urination, excretion of the urethra, scanty transparent discharge from the
vagina, abdominal pain (with inflammation of the uterus and appendages), dyspareunia , fever. It
should be noted that ureaplasmosis exhibits minor symptoms that are of little concern to patients,
and often does not occur at all (especially in women).
The basic material from a count in the laboratory to identify Ureaplasma different methods are
scrapings of the urogenital tract, the first portion freely released urine. Biological sampling shall
be carried out not earlier than 14 days after the end of the administration of antibacterial
preparations.
Treatment. At the end of the course of drug therapy (two weeks later), a control examination is
carried out, including the study of microbiocenosis in the vagina, and after a month and a half -
repeated PCR and bacteriological analysis.
Treatment of ureaplasmosis is usually done on an outpatient basis. Because the causative agent
of this disease is easily adapted to different antibiotics , sometimes even several courses
of treatment do not produce results. In pregnant women , drugs
are used tetracycline ( tetracycline , doxycycline ), fluoroquinolones ( ofloxacin , pefloxacin )
and macrolides ( azithromycin , jazamycin , clarithromycin ). During pregnancy, you
can use only some of the macrolides , and drugs tetracycline and fluoroquinolones
are contraindicated .
The recommended regimen for jazzamycin : 500 mg 3 g / day for 7-10 days .
This drug is characterized
by proven efficacy against chlamydial , ureaplasmic and mycoplasma infections of
the urogenital tract, as well as a favorable safety profile ( no pathological effects on the motility
and microflora of the intestine, minimal risk of drug interactions ).
GONORRHEA
It is a sexually transmitted disease, caused by the
gonococcus Neisseria gonorrhoeae . Gonococcus is a specific parasite of a person characterized
by a triad: intracellular location (in a leukocyte), legume and Gram negative
staining. Gonococcus does not form a true toxin, only after death is released endotoxin, which
causes degenerative - destructive changes in tissues, the formation of strictures.
The main route of infection is sexual. Most sources of infection are patients
with torpid chronic form of gonorrhea, honokokonosiyi . Very rarely, the infection occurs
through the household path through household items - linen, towels. Infection of the fetus is
possible in the pre-natal period when gonococci penetrate the fetus during its passage through
the genital tract.
There is no real immunity for gonorrhea. Patients who have already had the disease may
become infected with gonorrhea repeatedly, the course of reinfection is as acute as the first
disease. Gonorrhea is characterized by a predominant impression of the mucous organs of the
urogenital system, more often where there is a cylindrical epithelium.
Classification. Classification of gonorrhea is based on three principles ah :
the prescription of the disease , the nature of the clinical course , the localization of the process.
By prescription of disease distinguish:
1. fresh form - it includes all cases with a limitation of the disease up to 2 months.
2. chronic - the disease has a limitation period of more than 2 months or with an
unspecified period.
Ok remo produce a latent form ( gonococoniosis ), when there are no external signs of the
disease, but patients have gonococci.
According to the clinical course, there are forms:
1. acute-onset of the disease no more than 2 weeks ago
2. podgostra- from 2 to 8 weeks
3. torpidna- is characterized by the erased onset and course of the inflammatory process,
poor secretions from the urethra and cervix, where the gonococci are located.
By localization distinguish:
- gonorrhea of the lower division ( vulvitis , urethritis, bartholinitis, endocervicitis ,
proctitis)
- gonorrhea of the upper division (ascending): endometritis,
salpingitis, oophoritis , salpingo-oophoritis , pelvioperitonitis . The border between the upper and
lower divisions is the internal yawn of the cervix.
The incubation period is 3-4 days, sometimes up to 8 days. The spread of gonococci is
most often ascending - the urethra, cervix, endometrium , fallopian tubes, peritoneum, or
hematogenous and lymphogenous pathways.
Clinic. Lower gonorrhea is characterized by the presence of mucous or mucous-purulent
character. Patients complain of itching, heartburn in the affected area, walking pain; in the
presence of gonorrheal urethritis - dysuric phenomena (burning pain at the beginning of
urination), in the case of rectum - tenesmus , heartburn in the anus. Objectively mucous in the
lesion area - hyperemic , swollen with slight hemorrhage. For endoservicitis pain characteristic,
discharge pus, mucous-purulent greenish-yellow, viscous, often accompanied by blockage of
ductless glands with the formation of retention cysts - ovula Nabothi , which may be in for a long
time gonococci.
In gonorrhea of the upper division, in contrast to the lower, there is a worsening of the
general condition of the patient, fever up to 38-39 C, nausea, vomiting, cramping pain in the
lower abdomen, in the sacrum, in the waist, secretion of blood-purulent, mucous-
purulent. Bimanual research is dramatically painful. Menstrual disorders. Frequent occurrence of
complications: piosalpinks , tubo-ovarian abscesses, gonococcal metastases to other organs and
systems. There is a characteristic discrepancy in blood tests between high ESR and relatively low
leukocytosis, or even a normal leukocyte count. Chronic forms of gonorrhea are not
characterized by the severity of the clinical picture, the detection of gonococci by methods of
provocation.
Diagnosis.
1. Data of anamnesis: complaints, prescription of disease, connection with sexual life,
features of the course, nature of menstrual and childbearing function.
2. Bacterioscopic examination: smears are taken from the urethra , the cervical canal, the
rectum and stained with Gram. If necessary, smears taken from the large glands of
the lobby , scan glands. Urine sediment is analyzed. In cytobacterioscopic examination of smears
distinguish the following pictures:
- smear a large number of leukocytes, no flora, intracellular, extracellular gonococci
(characteristic of acute gonorrhea).
- large number of leukocytes, no flora, no gonococci (suspected gonorrhea). Flora is
more often displaced by the existing but undetected gonococcus.
- a small amount of leukocytes and a variety of microbial flora (smear is not typical for
gonorrhea).
3. The cultural method is more informative - sowing of excretions on the nutrient medium
of ascites-agar, ascites- broth .
4. Of great importance in the diagnosis of primary chronic forms belongs to the methods
of provocation, which is based on the artificial formation of conditions of increased circulation
and the allocation of gonococci on the surface of the mucous membranes.
Methods of provocation.
Chemical - lubricate the urethra to a depth of 1 to 2 cm and rectum 4 cm 1-2% silver
nitrate solution, cervical canal - 5% silver nitrate to a depth of 1.5 cm.
Thermal - conduct diathermy, inductothermia, paraffin, ozokerite applications, UHF
every day (3 days). Every day an hour after warming up, there is a selection for laboratory
testing.
Physiological - smears taken during the days of greatest bleeding during menstruation.
Mechanical - massage the urethra through the back wall on a metal bougie.
Alimentary - after consuming spicy, salty food, beer.
Biological - the introduction of gonovaccine 500 million microbial bodies.
Combined.
5. In the diagnosis of gonorrhea, changes in the blood are significant - a significant
increase in ESR in moderate leukocytosis, lymphocytosis , eosinophilia .
6. Recently, the most sensitive method of diagnosis is molecular biological
- polymerase chain reaction, which is based on the detection of the pathogen in the presence of
its DNA in cell culture.
Treatment. The treatment of patients with gonorrhea should be comprehensive with an
individual approach to each patient. It includes antibacterial, immunostimulatory , topical anti-
inflammatory therapy. Treatment of acute gonorrhea is carried out in the hospital. Prescribe bed
rest throughout the feverish period, mechanically and chemically sparing diet (saline,
spicy). Treatment should be started with a shock dose of antibiotic to create a higher
concentration in the lesion.
Augmentin with fresh uncomplicated gonorrhea is administered 375 mg every 8 hours, at
a rate of 1.875 g . For complicated and chronic gonorrhea for the first 3 days 750 mg of the drug
every 8 hours, the other 2 days 375 mg every 8 hours.
Sulacillin is administered intramuscularly at 1.5 g at 8 hour intervals. Course dose in
fresh forms - 6 g , chronic and complicated - 9 g .
Cefobid intramuscularly 1g per day, for fresh forms 3 g , for others - 5 g .
For the effective treatment of patients with torpid and chronic forms of gonorrhea
stimulation of specific and nonspecific reactivity of the organism is used: the gonococcal vaccine
is administered intramuscularly with an interval of 1-2 days, each time increasing the dose by
150-300 mln of microbial bodies. The single dose can be increased to 1.5-2 billion microbial
bodies and the number of injections to 6-8. In acute complications of gonorrhea, vaccination is
started with 200 million microbial bodies. In torpid and chronic form - local vaccination in the
submucosa of the uterus, urethra from 50 million to 150-200 million microbial
bodies. Antibiotics are prescribed during and at the end of vaccination.
Contraindications: active tuberculosis, organic lesions of the cardiovascular system,
kidneys, liver, allergic diseases, menstruation. It is not advisable to administer to people with III
(B) and IV (AV) blood groups, because gonococci and gonococcal vaccine contain a substance
similar to human group isoantigen B and have a specific cytopathogenic effect on human
erythrocytes.
To stimulate nonspecific resistance of the person use pyrogenal intramuscular
injection every other day, starting from 50-100 MPD (minimum pyrogenic doses), increasing the
dose of each subsequent injection, depending on the temperature response by 10-15 MPD, at the
rate of 6-8 in ' actions. The maximum single dose is 80-100 MPD. Prodigiosan is
administered intramuscularly in a single dose, starting with 15 MPD for a course of 4 injections
at 4-5 day intervals. The maximum single dose is 75 MPD. Tymaktyn sublingually to 0.1 g 1
time per course 3 days. Tactivin - 0.01% 0.5 mg p / wk every other day, 7-8
injections. Levamisole - cycles of 150 mg once a day for 3 days, 4 days break, the cycle is
repeated, for a course of 4 cycles.
Patients with complicated and chronic gonorrhea are prescribed injections
of aloe , fibroids , vitreous body, reinfusion irradiated with laser light of their own blood.
Local treatment in the acute stage contraindicated. Assign vaginal trays 2-5%
of protargol , chlorophyllipto , solution of furacillin . When urethritis - washing the urethra with
a solution of potassium permanganate 1: 5000, 1: 10000, instillation of 1-2% protargol,
lubrication of the mucous membrane 1% silver nitrate, cervicitis - 2% silver nitrate.
Curability is determined 7-10 days after the end of antibiotic treatment, examining the
discharge from the urethra, the cervix, the rectum. In the absence of gonococci spend a combined
provocation for 3 days investigate the selection. In the absence of gonococci - discharged before
the onset of menstruation. During menstruation, smears are taken again, and at the end -
provocation is again carried out with a study of vaginal discharge for 3 days. In the absence of
gonococci - patients are withdrawn.
GENITAL HERPES
CYTOMEGALOVIRUS INFECTION
Cytomegalovirus infection (CMVI , cytomegaly ) belongs to infectious processes with
unique features of interaction at the level of "virus - infected cell" and "virus - immune
system". Despite the almost common infection with the cytomegaly virus (like other herpes
viruses ), clinical manifestations of infection occur very rarely - except in the presence of
immunodeficiency. In different countries, the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV)
infection ranges from 45 to 98%.
Particularly dangerous is congenital cytomegaly , which is formed as a result of
intrauterine transmission of the virus, so 1-1.5% of fetuses are infected. When infection of the
fetus in the early stages of pregnancy may it intrauterine death and spontaneous ( spontaneous )
abortions. In more recent dates disease can cause birth defects development at the same
time 10% of infected newborns show lesions of the
nervous system ( microcephaly , delayed mental development , seizures ), of vision ( chorioretini
tis ), liver and spleen ( hepatosplenomegaly , jaundice , thrombocytopenia ).
Ways of transmitting the virus. The CMV reservoir in nature is exclusively human ,
diseased or carrier . Ways of transmission of the virus are diverse : it is found in
the blood , urine , faeces , secretions and biopsies of almost all tissues of the body .
The main routes of transmission of the cytomegaly virus include:
- contact- household ,
- transfusion ,
- intranatal ,
- sexual ,
- transplantation ,
- air-drop .
Proved transmission of infection from sick mother to the child during the time of childbirth and
breast feeding .
Clinic. Primary infection in term infants without congenital immunodeficiencies and in adults
(except in pregnant and immunocompromised patients) is almost
always subclinical . Cytomegaly is regarded as a classic "opportunistic" infection, that is,
activated only against the background of immunodeficiency. The reason for the activation
of CMV
is often a sudden hormonal changes - pregnancy , ovariectomy . In immunocompetent persons,
the infection usually has an asymptomatic course . In some cases,
the clinical picture resembles infectious mononucleosis caused by
the Epstein- Barr virus . In immunocompromised individuals, cytomegalovirus infection can af
fect various organs and systems with the development
of pneumonia , myocarditis , encephalitis , aseptic meningitis , thrombocytopenia , hemolytic ane
mia , gastritis, hepatitis, retinitis and the like . The disseminated form of
CMV often develops . The most common manifestation of CMV
with AIDS is retinitis (85%), rarely - esophagitis , colitis , poliradykulopatiya , ventrykuloentsefa
lit .
Treatment. Effective treatment is possible only with the simultaneous use of effective antiviral
agents and the correction of the cellular link of the immune response.
In alacyclovir ( valtrex ) at a daily dose of 2-3 g allows to ensure its sufficient concentration in
the tissues , and therefore the effectiveness of treatment.
G ancyclovir ( cymeven at a dose of 5-10 mg / kg / day intravenously) is today a truly highly
effective etiotropic agent for the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection.
Among the new but not well-studied nucleoside agents are famvir ( famciclovir 500-1000 mg /
day) and denavir ( penciclovir ).
In recent years, the number of thymic peptides
of synthetic origin has increased significantly . Effective thymomimetics is
considered thymosin ( thymosin α-1, zadaxin ), which is used in immunodeficiency states
with predominant cellular damage , in the complex therapy of hepatitis B and
C, cytomegalovirus and other herpes virus infections
Recombinant interferon analogues or inducers of its synthesis are prescribed in the case
of reduced production of this cytokine in the body . Among the indications for use
of drugs recombinant interferon - acute and chronic viral diseases . In
such cases, it can have both etiotropic ( antiviral )
and pathogenetic ( immunostimulatory ) effect . Unfortunately, the use of interferon in
CMVI has not been sufficiently studied to date and is limited to several pilot studies .
At the present time we know more than 100 types of HPV. Some of
them relatively safe for the health of humans , others can activate the development of
cancer processes . Most often the clinical signs of the disease in the first stages
are not manifested . Usually the first symptoms occur after the action of the triggering factors .
1. Strains with high oncogenic risk (18, 16, 31, 33, etc.)
2. Strains with low oncogenic risk (6, 11, 32, 40-44, 72)
To diagnose the presence of HPV is necessary stages for this using a number of
physical , laboratory and instrumental studies .
Treatment. It is impossible to remove the virus completely from the patient's body. The doctor
can only deal with the effects of the life of the infectious agent . As general therapy,
symptomatic agents, antivirals and drugs that stimulate immune processes can be
used. To fight with different kinds of warts can be applied :
