Description
INTRODUCTION The burden of reproductive tract infections (RTIs), including sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), is a major public-health concern especially in developing countries. The worldwide incidence of major bacterial and viral STDs is estimated to be over 333 million cases per year (1). After pregnancy-related causes, STDs are responsible for the greatest number of healthy years lost among women of reproductive age in developing countries. Serious long-term complications as a sequel to STDs in women, men, and newborns are well-documented. The presence of an STD, particularly ulcer-causing STDs, can enhance the acquisition and transmission of HIV. In addition to health effects, STDs carry great social and economic consequences particularly for women.
