Chlamydia and Adolescent Patients Objectives Describe the epidemiology, scope, and risk factors for Chlamydial infection in adolescents Assess, treat, and prevent Chlamydial infection in adolescent patients utilizing evidence-based guidelines Discuss ways to improve current clinical practice Provide referrals for care to adolescent patients Adolescent STI Burden Why it matters CDC STI Estimates CDC 2013 Report: STIs and Young People Incidence Prevalence Increased Risk Cost ~20 million new cases/year: 50% occur in people ages 15–24 Total infections: 110 Million # of new infections equal among young males (49%) and females (51%) Direct medical costs: ~$16 billion/year Adolescents Face Increased Risk for STIs Biological Behavioral Social/Institutional Chlamydia — Rates of Reported Cases by Age and Sex, United States, 2014 CDC STD Surveillance Report 2014 Chlamydia — Rates of Reported Cases by State, United States and Outlying Areas, 2014 CDC STD Surveillance Report 2014 Chlamydia — Rates of Reported Cases by Race/Ethnicity, United States, 2010– 2014 CDC STD Surveillance Report 2014 STD Disparities: Meeting the Challenges Multiple factors contribute to STD disparities in African-Americans: Racial inequality High levels of uninsured Low educational attainment High incarceration rates To address STD disparities, involvement of affected communities at all steps in the process is required Source: Valentine, J. “Addressing STD Disparities Among Adoles Health Impact Pyramid with STD Prevention Examples Smallest Impact Behavioral counseling to reduce STD/HIV Counseling & Education Clinical Interventions Long-lasting Protective Interventions Changing the Context To Make Individuals’ Default Decisions Healthy Largest Impact Socioeconomic Factors Frieden T.

What is your initial differential diagnosis? What additional information do you need? Sexual History: The Five Ps Partners Gender(s), Number (three months, lifetime) Prevention of pregnancy Contraception, EC Protection from STIs Condom use Practices Types of sex: anal, vaginal, oral Past history of STIs www.stdhivtraining.net Prevention Counseling AAP Patient-centered, age-appropriate anticipatory guidance; Integrate sex ed into clinical practice; can use educational materials; Prevention guidance, including abstinence, safer sexual practices, and condoms ACOG Counseling for all sexually active individuals AAFP High-intensity behavioral counseling (HIBC) CDC* HIBC; interactive counseling approaches, i.e., client-centered STD/HIV prevention counseling; motivational interviewing; videos and large group presentations to provide information USPSTF Intensive behavioral counseling for all sexually active adolescents and adults at high-STI risk Erica: Sexual History Results Several episodes of unprotected sex in the last few weeks with one male partner (her only lifetime) Not on hormonal contraception but uses condoms most of the time Engages in oral (giving and receiving) and vaginal sex No known history of STIs Erica: History of Present Illness Results Erica tells you she has burning with urination and a “yellowish” discharge. She reports itchiness. She denies abdominal pain and fever and reports no bumps or lesions. What is the differential diagnosis? Differential Diagnosis You observe discharge in the vault but not in the os. You suspect vaginitis. What are the causes of vaginitis? Differential Diagnosis Dysuria Genital Tract Infection Vaginitis Trichomonas Bacterial Vaginitis Candida Vaginitis Additional Concerns Because Erica is a sexually active 16-year-old, she is also at risk for cervicitis. What are the most common causes of cervicitis? Chlamydia Gonorrhea Chlamydia Curable bacterial STI Most common reportable communicable disease Highest-reported rates among adolescent and young adult females (Aged 15–24) Usually asymptomatic Chlamydia Symptoms Females: Up to ~80–90% asymptomatic Males: Up to 90% asymptomatic • Heavy or prolonged menses • Spotting • Dysmenorrhea • Dyspareunia • Vaginal discharge • Penile discharge • Dysuria Clinical Syndromes Caused by C. trachomatis Males Females Infants Local Infection Complication Sequelae Conjunctivitis Urethritis Proctitis Epididymitis Reiter’s syndrome (rare) HIV risk Chronic arthritis (rare) Conjunctivitis Urethritis Cervicitis Proctitis Endometritis Salpingitis Perihepatitis Reiter’s syndrome (rare) HIV risk Infertility Ectopic pregnancy Chronic pelvic pain Chronic arthritis (rare) Conjunctivitis Pneumonitis Pharyngitis Rhinitis Eye and lung infections Rare, if any Non-Gonococcal Urethritis: Mucoid Discharge Source: Seattle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center at the University of Washington/UW HSCER Slide Bank Swollen or Tender Testicles (epididymitis) Source: Seattle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center at the University of Washington Normal Cervix Source: STD/HIV Prevention Training Center at the University of Washington/Claire E.
