GENITAL TRACT INFECTION [3 records]

Record 1 2010-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
DEF

Any disease or lesion with which Fusobacterium necrophorum is associated.

OBS

It includes necrotic laryngitis [...], necrotic stomatitis of calves, necrotic rhinitis of pigs [...], foot rot of cattle [...], foot abscess of sheep [...], postparturient necrosis of the vagina and uterus, focal necrosis of the liver of cattle and sheep, quittor of horses [...], and numerous other necrotic lesions in ruminants and, less commonly, in pigs, horses, fowl, and rabbits. F. necrophorum is probably a secondary invader rather than a primary etiologic agent and is usually present as part of a mixed infection. However, its necrotizing exotoxin undoubtedly plays a role in the production of characteristic lesions. It is part of the normal flora of the mouth, intestine, and genital tract of many herbivores and omnivores and it is widespread in the environment.

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Human Diseases
CONT

test of cure. STD [sexually transmitted diseases] The re-culturing of a site of initial infection -- eg, gonorrhea, to determine whether the [patient] is cured.

CONT

Infection of the lower genital tract with Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the commonest sexually transmitted diseases. It is common clinical practice following treatment to repeat microbiological tests to ensure chlamydiae have been eradicated. This study was undertaken to investigate whether such a test of cure(TOC) is necessary and if so whether enzyme immunoassay(EIA) or cell-culture is the more appropriate test and how long after completion of treatment it should be done.

CONT

Because successful treatment rates are high, a test of cure is not usually performed.
