Abstract

The adolescents represent a group at particular risk for STD due to biological, sociocultural and psychological factors. Undetected infections may lead to unwanted sequelae, including pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic abdominal pain, tubal scarring and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. Recently, the guidelines for the treatment of sexually transmitted disease have been developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) after consultation to a group of professionals in Atlanta during September 26~28, 2000 and published on May 10, 2002. This paper deals with the modified and simplified guidelines for STD for primary general practitions referring recommendation and reports of CDC.
