Add your reasons, if you like!

Other people have added these:

• Yellow fever @notoverjoyed

• Scurvy @monitorchakas

• Lymph disease @wyrmalien

• Diphtheria ( I couldn’t fit this one)

• Malaria “ye olde marsh fever” @bombadilbaddie

• Scrofula “The King’s Evil” @hasturswig

Edit for all the people telling me “uhhh tuberculosis still exists”: I know! :) In fact, all of these sicknesses still exist. In the modern world we live in, however, most of these are only prevalent in developing countries, and certainly not to the extent they once were.

Chlamydia Trachomatis

Can't blog about gonorrhoea without at least a brief mention about Chlamydia.

Risk groups: Sexually active and under 30 Concerningly, it's usually asymptomatic (90% are asymptomatic), but can have severe/significant complications if undetected and untreated (i.e. infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease etc.)

Prevention: Active screening of anyone under <30, pregnant patients in clinic etc. Related to Chlamydophila Pneumoniae (atypical 'walking' pneumonia) and Psittaci (bird infection, causes resp illness psittacosis) Is an atypical bacteria, no cell wall, so penicillins have no effect. It has a lipid rich membrane. Gram stains negative (Pink), much like gono. Clinical presentation: Source: QHealth

ANyone with a human body can also get laryngeal chlamydia (so painful throat) from oral sex, and conjunctivitis (similarly, oral sex)

IMage source:

Pregnant women are routinely screened and treated, as it can also result in neonatal conjunctivitis during vaginal delivery, usually presenting 2 weeks post partum.

by the way, koalas also get chlamydia..

Investigations: - gold standard testing is PCR swab or NAAT (Nucleic acid amplification test) Also test for: - concurrent gonorrhoea (treated with ceftriaxone)

Complications if left untreated: Pregnancy: low birth weight infants, pre term delivery, as above, neonatal conjunctivitis Pelvic inflammatory disease --> which can lead to abscess and infertility via tubal damage from inflammation

Epididymo-orchitis --> painful, swollen testicles, can feel like a testicular torsion presentation is a differential for this

Rarely, but can happen: reactive arthritis. painful, red, hot swollen joints from immune complexes, sterile on testing fluid MCS from joint. usually resolving post infection, even more rarely can lead to long term inflammatory arthritis needing long term immunosuppression as guided by rheumatology. Treatment: 1 g of azithromycin as a stat dose, PO (blissfully simple) alternative is doxycyline 100 mg BD for a week, but I rarely see this prescribed. Given it is an atypical that won't respond to pencillins or cephalosporins. For adherence it's better to just go with the stat dose unless there's contraindications to azith (prolonged QTc etc). As it often co-occurs with gono, they're often tested together and treated together. With gono it's IM cef, 500 mg

Contact tracing is always incredibly important in STIs - need to trace back partners up to 6 mos Sexual contact - none for 7 days post therapy, and not with partners from the last 6 months until they've been screened and treated if positive. there's no immunity post infection, and re-infection is common. interestingly re testing at 3 months is recommended.

Chemistry behind Chlamydia pneumoniae infections

Lately, there's been a surge in Chlamydia pneumoniae infections, mainly among teenagers. Azithromycin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic for these cases, has garnered attention. But is stockpiling Azithromycin really necessary? It's a macrolide antibiotic used to fight bacterial infections by inhibiting protein synthesis, limiting bacterial growth.

While macrolides, like Azithromycin, are recommended for Chlamydia pneumoniae infections, they aren't the sole option. Overuse of macrolides has led to increasing antibiotic resistance. In a 2000 study, Asia had a 60% macrolide resistance rate, particularly severe in China at nearly 90%. So, always follow medical advice and avoid hoarding or misusing antibiotics. 🦠💊

I think I have Chlamydia, and the only person who I’ve slept with since my last sti panel a year ago is my current partner. So if I do have chlamydia, it has to be from her. To my knowledge, she’s never had an sti panel. She also doesn’t have any foul smells or unusual discharge. I don’t know how to bring it up to her. She’s distrustful and ignorant to a lot of sexual health knowledge, so I know she’s gonna assume I cheated and it’s gonna get ugly. I’ve had symptoms for well over 6 months now, and I’m really sick of it, but I’m petrified of gynos so hence why it’s been so long.

Go to a doctor, get an STI test ASAP!

Chlamydia can be completely symptomless, so it’s entirely possible your partner unknowingly has it, I would recommend showing them this reply and urge them to take a test with you. Depending on your location it might be possible to get an at-home test.

Whenever I see the word chlamydia I think of Timothee Chalamet. Thanks internet

#timothee chalamet #chlamydia #nyu #timothee chalamet gave everyone chlamydia at nyu

Confirmed, when the nurse tried to insert the speculum I screamed in pain. So it's downstairs too

Under the microscope from the vaginal swab she could see something that indicated chlamydia, so she gave me some antibiotics. I might need another round for the gonorrhea if I have that too, or whatever is in my throat, but who knows.

She gave me a thrush pill too just in case that helps. The discomfort I'm feeling there is akin to thrush.

Generally I'm feeling better though apart from some sex hole discomfort. I did a gentle-ish session at the gym this evening and made a multi part dinner.

Real bummer that the antibiotics mean I have to stay out of the sun when the weather is meant to be great this weekend 🥲 so I skived work this afternoon for a couple hours in the sun before taking my first dose. And mostly I'm just so relieved to finally get some treatment!
