Abstract

  Background: Consequences of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) are one of health problems affecting to population, is increasingly required more attention, as the asymptomatic first stage is frequently not diagnosed, and prevalence of infection causes is still limited. Objectives: To detect causes of sexually transmitted infections, describe the positive rate of those causes and genotype of HPV with real-time PCR method. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional and retrospective study was conducted, and this study collected 128 patients diagnosed with discomfort symptoms of lower genital tract and treated at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital during 1/2020 to 10/2024. Results: Major patients were women (83.6%), the age over 40 occupied the highest rate (45.3%). Most of the patients were infected with only one pathogen (98.4%), and co-infections was low (1.6%). HPV pathogen was dectected the highest positive rate (10.5%), other three pathogens including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Herpes simplex were equal positive rate (8.7%), the lowest positive rate was Haemophilus ducreyi (4.3%). Conclusions: Human Papilloma Virus is the most common pathogen of lower genital tract problems, especially the high risk HPV genotypes for cancers. Screening pathogens of lower genital tract by real-time PCR technique is the cost-effective approach in early diagnosis and treatment.
