Further Information
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) include a large group of infectious diseases. Every year the WHO estimates the onset of millions of new cases (http://www.who.int/), 357 million related to at least 1 of the following 4 pathogens: Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum and Trichomonas vaginalis.
About thirty different STIs are known, caused by over twenty types of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasites. If not diagnosed in time and treated properly, these diseases can lead to serious complications affecting the female and male reproductive system (infertility, abortions, ectopic pregnancies, urethral strictures, tumours, etc).
