2
The most frequent agents of STD – revision The three most common agents of STD: 1.Papillomaviruses 2.Chlamydiae 3.Yeasts Other common agents of STD: Bacteriae: Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma Gardnerella vaginalis Gardnerella vaginalis Klebsiella granulomatis Klebsiella granulomatis Viruses: HSV 2 HBV HBV HCV? HCV? HIV HIV Parasites: Trichomonas vaginalis Sarcoptes scabiei Sarcoptes scabiei Phthirus pubis Phthirus pubis
3
