This comprehensive, well-illustrated, and easily accessible book documents the latest research outcomes concerning sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and describes important advances in their prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The changes in the epidemiology and clinical aspects of STIs that have occurred over the past decade are fully explored, with special attention to core groups and patients with immunological disorders. The emerging challenges associated with particular sexually transmitted pathogens, including C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, HPV, and HIV, are identified and discussed. Readers will find detailed information on modern preventive strategies, new laboratory and diagnostic techniques, and a range of innovative treatments, including vaccines, continuous antiretroviral therapy, and new drugs against hepatitis viruses.

Preface

The decision today to edit a handbook on Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) is a difficult one, mainly due to the complexity of this field and to the growing challenges arising from this wide spectrum of infections for clinicians, researchers, and public health authorities after the year 2000.

STIs remain a global health priority because of their dramatic impact on women and infants and their well-documented biological and epidemiological inter-relationships with HIV infection. The health complications which arise from STIs represent relevant causes of morbidity and mortality for a large part of the planets population and a main source of spending health financial resources in high-income countries. WHO and UNAIDS have estimated that nearly one million people become infected every day with a bacterial STI and that about 750 million people live with a viral STI such as HIV, HSV, or HPV infection.

Clearly, STIs disproportionately affect low-income and middle-income countries, but since 2000 there has been a disturbing resurgence in Western countries with higher incidence rates in most vulnerable groups, coupled with declining susceptibility or outright resistance of some STI pathogens to large-use antimicrobial agents.

Despite their high global impact, STIs remain a neglected field for clinical and public health practice and for research, and many issues are still incomplete, with several questions unanswered, particularly in the area of basic research and of the behavioral key drivers.

For all these reasons, even though other comprehensive texts and e-publications about STI have already been accessed by many specialists in this field, we have accepted the challenge to design a handbook which focuses on some of the high-priority contents that now concern the STI field. This approach has forced us to make specific choices for building a text based on some selected issues concerning the modern STIs, such as; the novel epidemiology, the challenges of prevention and of basic research and the new clinical aspects for many of the infections.

Thus, the book cannot be considered a typical STI handbook because it is not a complete guide regarding STI, but a streamlined text that tries to enhance knowledge about some selected contents which are proving to be the most decisive for modern STI control.

Naturally, we could not have done all this by ourselves and without the close cooperation of a panel of international experts who agreed with us to take on this challenge. We are honored and proud to have received their precious dedication. We would like to express our gratitude for their efforts, support for our ideas about the framework of the opera, and the sacrifice of their valuable time. Additional thanks go to the contributors who have enriched the texts with graphics, tables, and algorithms and donated color photographs to improve the didactic value of the texts.

We would like also to thank the Editorial Team at Springer Medical Editions for their assistance and support in the finalization of the different chapters and for the autonomy of decision they granted us as Editors concerning the contents, form, and collaborations. In particular, our special thanks go to Dr. Juliette Kleemann for her trust, her assistance, and precious advice and to Beauty Christobel Gunasekaran who provided support in all the phases of collection, revision, and management of the published materials.

We hope, together with all the contributors, that we have produced a useful text for all those who today are engaged or interested in the study of modern Venereology.

Happy reading to all!
