Syphilis surveillance report

"The Syphilis Surveillance Report, 2003, presents syphilis statistics and trends in the United States through 2003. The surveillance information in this report is based on the following sources: case reports from the 65 Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) project areas, and data on prevalence of reactive serologic tests for syphilis provided by the Jail STD Prevalence Monitoring Project and state and local health departments which voluntarily submitted correctional facility screening data to CDC. The STD surveillance systems operated by STD control programs of state and local health departments provide the case report data on adult and congenital syphilis and are the sources of most of the information in this publication. These systems are an integral part of program management at all levels of STD prevention and control in the United States. The Syphilis Surveillance Report consists of two parts. The National Profile contains figures that provide an overview of syphilis morbidity in the United States. The State Profile contains figures of syphilis case report trends at the state and county level." -- p. 1.Division of STD Prevention."December 2004."State profiles available here: http://www.cdc.gov/std/Syphilis2003/default.htm not included in Adobe Acrobat pdf version.Also available via the World Wide Web.Includes bibliographical references (p. 7)

Genital HPV infection: : report of an external consultants' meeting

Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States and is of increasing public health concern, yet no prevention programs have been established. Certain HPV types cause abnormal Pap smears and are etiologically related to cervical, vulvar, anal, and penile cancers; other types cause genital warts, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, and low-grade Pap smear abnormalities. Recommendations for programmatic activities, prevention research, and evaluation were developed by a group of invited experts who met in Atlanta on April 13-14, 1999. This consultation on "Prevention of Genital HPV Infection and Sequelae" was cosponsored by CDC's Division of STD Prevention (DSTD), National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP); Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP); Division of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases (DVRD), National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID); and the American Cancer Society (ACS). Discussions were focused around key questions for seven topics pertinent to prevention of genital HPV infection and sequelae: the role of HPV testing in cervical cancer screening, cancer screening in adolescents, non-vaccine approaches to primary prevention of HPV infection, preparedness for prophylactic HPV vaccines, public and provider awareness, prevention of anal cancer, and surveillance for HPV and cancer. Following a summary of the discussion of the issues in each core topic area, recommendations are listed. These include recommendations (summarized below) for programmatic public health/prevention activities ready for implementation in the near future as well as recommendations for prevention research or other evaluation activities. While these recommendations were made primarily as suggestions for CDC and ACS, many are also relevant for other organizations interested in prevention of genital HPV or related sequelae (e.g., the National Institutes of Health). The intent of this report is to stimulate long-term collaborative efforts among a variety of organizations.by the Department of Health and Human Services, Atlanta : Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), December 1999.Also issued electronically via the World Wide Web.Includes bibliographical references

Syphilis surveillance report

"Syphilis, a genital ulcerative disease, can cause significant complications if untreated and facilitates the transmission of HIV. Untreated early syphilis during pregnancy results in perinatal death in up to 40% of cases and, if acquired during the four years preceding pregnancy, may lead to infection of the fetus in 80% of cases. Reports of outbreaks and increased numbers of primary and secondary syphilis cases among men who have sex with men have been documented and characterized by high rates of HIV co-infection and high-risk sexual behavior. In recent years, men who have sex with men have accounted for an increasing number of estimated primary and secondary syphilis cases in the United States and now account for 64% of primary and secondary syphilis based on information available from 29 states and Washington, D.C. After decreasing from 2001 to 2004, the rate of primary and secondary syphilis among women increased from 0.8 cases per 100,000 population in 2004 to 1.0 cases per 100,000 population in 2006. After 14 years of decline in the United States, the rate of congenital syphilis increased 3.7% from 2005 to 2006 (from 8.2 to 8.5 cases per 100,000 live births). Despite the majority of U.S. syphilis cases occurring among men who have sex with men, heterosexual syphilis may be an emerging problem given the recent increases among women and infants. Additionally, a substantial proportion of early syphilis cases is from correctional facilities, in which high rates of reactive serologies and disease are known to occur, particularly in areas experiencing heterosexual syphilis epidemics. Information from both case reports and STD Prevalence Monitoring Projects is important for STD prevention, treatment, planning, and evaluation activities. The use of data to inform, evaluate, and modify interventions and other activities is critical to the effort to prevent syphilis. To that end, this Syphilis Surveillance Report consists of national and state profiles that contain and describe figures and tables, which provide an overview of syphilis morbidity in the United States. These profiles present adult and congenital syphilis trends and other statistics in the United States through 2006 and are based on case reports from the 65 sexually transmitted disease (STD) project areas. Case report data are the foundation of surveillance systems, which are operated by state and local health department STD control programs." -- p. 4.Division of STD Prevention."December 2007."State profiles available here: http://www.cdc.gov/std/syphilis2006/default.htm not included in Adobe Acrobat pdf version.Also available via the World Wide Web.Includes bibliographical references (p. 13-14)

"In recent years, reports of outbreaks and increased numbers of primary and secondary syphilis cases among men who have sex with men have been documented and characterized by high rates of HIV co-infection and high-risk sexual behavior.8-12 For the first time in several years, the number of cases among women increased in 2004, and the male to female (M:F) ratio decreased in 2005,2,13 suggesting that heterosexuals may be increasingly infected with syphilis. Additionally, a substantial proportion of early syphilis cases is from correctional facilities,14 in which high rates of reactive serologies and disease are known to occur,15-18 particularly in areas experiencing heterosexual syphilis epidemics.14-16 Information from both case reports and STD Prevalence Monitoring Projects is important for STD prevention, treatment, planning, and evaluation activities.
