摘要
This review highlights some of the difficulties inherent in controlling sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in developing countries - especially amongst women. Considerable efforts have been made to improve the syndromic approach to STD management but the poor performance of the algorithm for managing vaginal discharge limits the effectiveness of this strategy. The facilitating role of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been the main impetus to STD control rather: than reduction of morbidity in women, especially pregnant women and their children. There are no easy solutions - but action on several fronts, with more attention to core groups, men and adolescents is indicated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
