Özet
Background and design: Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) especially manifesting genital ulceration symptoms can sometimes coexist with hepatitis B, C or HIV infections or facilitate their transmission. Materials and methods: In this study 50 STD patients, in addition to their demographic properties were screened for hepatitis B, C and HIV infections. The history of previous STD with genital ulcerations was studied as a risk factor for these infections. Results: Among 50 patients included in this study, condyloma accuminata in 26 (52%), syphilis in 9 (18%, non gonococcal urethritis in 5 (10%), molluscum contagiosum in 4 (8%), gonorrhea in 3 (6%) and herpes genitalis in 3 (6%) patients were found. The rate of anti HBc seropositivity in the patients was found to be significantly higher as compared to control group. It was found that hepatitis B risk was not increased by STD with genital ulcerations or previous STD. Conclusion: As a result, prophylactic methods could prevent not only dermatologic or urologic STD but also hepatitis B infection as well.
