Genital herpes is a prevalent sexually transmitted viral infection. While genital herpes is not life-threatening, it can cause physical discomfort and psychosocial difficulties, and may increase the risk of contracting HIV. Given that genital herpes cannot be cured, both the condition itself, and the possibility of passing it on to others, becomes a part of the everyday reality of those individ...

During routine screening for genital herpes simplex virus infection in patients attending a sexually transmitted diseases clinic adenovirus type 19 was isolated from both men and women. Peak incidences of genital infection with adenovirus type 19 corresponded with those of eye infection with the same virus in the general community. Thus, the relationship between genital and eye infection with a...

Uterine lymphoma is a rare disease therefore, information regarding histologic type, immunophenotype of tumor cells and etiologic factors are limited. although secondary involvement of the genital tract occurs in up to 40% of cases• of disseminated lymphoma, lymphoma presenting with primary female genital tract . symptomatology is very unusual. We report a case of B-cell lymphoma in the ut...

Over the past decade, the genetics of external genital development have begun to be understood. Male and female external genitalia develop from the genital tubercle. The early tubercle has a superficial resemblance to the limb bud, but an important distinction is that the limb consists of only mesoderm and ectoderm, whereas the genital tubercle also has an endodermal component, the urethral epi...

Genital infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV -2) is increasingly common worldwide. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the epidemiology and natural history of genital herpes among GUM attendees with symptomatic genital herpes, and among HIV-l infected individuals. In our study of GUM attendees in the UK, we demonstrated HSV -1 to account for 9% of first episodes of genital he...

Background Studies have demonstrated the role of ulcerative and non-ulcerative sexually transmitted infections (STI) in HIV transmission/acquisition risk; less is understood about the role of non-specific inflammatory genital abnormalities. Methods HIV-discordant heterosexual Zambian couples were enrolled into longitudinal follow-up (1994-2012). Multivariable models estimated the effect of ge...

INTRODUCTION Our understanding of genital and pelvic floor physiology is rapidly expanding. Penile erection is a neurovascular event controlled by spinal autonomic centers, the activity of which is dependent on input from supraspinal centers and the genitalia. Genital afferent stimulation excites spinal autonomic nuclei and supraspinal sexual centers of both genders. AIM To present a detailed...
