SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs): A Detailed Manual for Medical Study and Practice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798629925125)

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) impose major health and economic burdens globally. There are more than 35 bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic pathogens that have been identified as sexually transmissible. Despite their burdens, costs, and complications, and the fact that they are largely preventable, STIs remain a significant public health problem in the United States and the rest of the world. This problem is largely unrecognized by the public, policymakers, and health care professionals in many set ups. STDs if left untreated cause many harmful, often irreversible, and costly clinical complications, such as reproductive health problems, fetal and perinatal health problems and cancers. CDC estimates that there are approximately 20 million new STD infections each year; almost half of them are among young people ages 15 to 25. The cost of STDs to the U.S. health care system is estimated to be as much as $16 billion annually. This book puts all these facts concerning STDs across in a straightforward manner to enable you, the reader to understand various concepts regarding these diseases. The book goes further to explain each individual disease in detail and giving its most current used drugs at the end. The content of this book has been sourced from rich references.
