After attending this presentation, learners will be able to:
Describe the current epidemiology of syphilis, gonorrhea,
chlamydia
Describe current screening and diagnostic
recommendations
Identify current treatment recommendations in the era of
emerging antimicrobial resistance
 
Limitations of case report data
Not all STDs are nationally notifiable
Most STDs are asymptomatic, only those diagnosed can be reported
Trends are influenced by screening coverage and reporting practices
STIs are on the rise

Heroin Use or Sex with a PWID, 2012–2016

All persons with syphilis should be evaluated for neurologic
symptoms/signs
CSF examination recommended:
Neurologic or ophthalmic symptoms/signs
Auditory disease, cranial nerve dysfunction, meningitis, stroke, altered mental
status, loss of vibration sense, iritis, uveitis
Evidence of tertiary disease
aortitis, gumma
Serologic treatment failure
CNS invasion in early syphilis is 
common
CSF abnormalities of unclear significance in the absence of signs/symptoms
Neurosyphilis = CSF tests + reactive RPR + signs/symptoms
2015 CDC Treatment Guidelines
Syphilis
Benz Pcn 2.4 mu IM x 1 early syphilis
Role of enhanced therapy
IM+oral

Observational > 500 HIV+ - no
