Diagnosis and management of sexually transmitted genital lesions.

A variety of genital lesions can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases. These lesions present in sexually active clients of all ages and socioeconomic groups with varying degrees of pain, lymphadenopathy and constitutional symptoms. If lesions are misdiagnosed or improperly treated, sexually transmitted diseases spread and clients may suffer complications. Differential diagnosis of genital lesions caused by sexually transmitted diseases includes herpes genitalis, syphilis, lymphogranuloma venereum, chancroid, condyloma acuminatum, granuloma inguinale, and molluscum contagiosum. Health care providers must be skilled at differential diagnosis, institution of appropriate treatment, and sexual counseling of clients and their partners.

Rabies.

Medical science has evolved tremendously from the days when local cauterization was used to treat victims of rabies exposure. Indeed, with appropriate wound care and vaccination procedures, human rabies is a preventable disease. Despite these advances, physicians treating the uncommon but very dramatic cases of human rabies have not been so successful. As research in this field continues, our hope must be that not only will rabies be preventable and curable but that other mystifying central nervous system disorders will become better understood as well.
