■性传播感染(STIs)的患病率在世界范围内仍然很高。尽管全世界的性传播感染发病率每年都在增加,很少有关于根据年龄和性别不同病原体的性传播感染频率的报道。因此,进行了一项研究,以确定天安号按年龄和性别划分的性传播感染合并感染趋势,韩国从2017年到2021年。
■确定该地区性传播感染合并感染的年龄或性别趋势。
■对2017年1月至2021年11月在Dankook大学医院检查的临床样本进行了回顾性研究。共有3297份标本从前往丹泰大学医院(天安,Korea),并对年龄1天至93岁的患者进行统计学分析.
■多重聚合酶链反应,诊断细菌感染的最有效方法,使用MJResearchPTC-200热循环仪(马歇尔科学,里士满,VA,美国)和SeeplexSTD检测试剂盒(Seegene,首尔,大韩民国)。根据年龄和性别分析与STI病原体的合并感染率。
■在3297个临床样本中,1017人(30.9%)性传播病原体检测呈阳性,从一到六个共同感染。按年龄对合并感染率的分析表明,随着合并感染病原体总数的增加,平均年龄逐渐降低。性传播感染的合并感染百分比和年龄分布因性别而异。合并感染在女性患者中更为普遍。此外,男性患者合并感染在30-39岁人群中频繁发生,而女性患者发生在20-29岁和30-39岁组。
■我们的统计分析表明,性传播感染在年轻人中比老年人更常见。因此,它有助于在年轻时识别性传播感染,并提供可能的指标数据以预防年轻时的性传播感染。此外,其他地区的合并感染需要进一步研究。
UNASSIGNED: The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remains high worldwide. Despite the worldwide increase in the incidence of STIs every year, there are few reports on the frequency of STIs with different pathogens according to age and gender. Accordingly, a
study was conducted to determine trends in co-infection with STIs by age and gender in Cheonan, South Korea from 2017 to 2021.
UNASSIGNED: To identify trends by age or sex in co-infection of STIs in this region.
UNASSIGNED: A retrospective
study was conducted on clinical samples examined at Dankook University Hospital from January 2017 to November 2021. A total of 3297 specimens were collected from patients visiting Dankook University Hospital (Cheonan, Korea), and statistical analysis was performed on patients ranging in age from 1 day to 93 years.
UNASSIGNED: Multiplex polymerase chain reaction, the most efficient method to diagnose a bacterial infection, was performed using an MJ Research PTC-200 Thermal Cycler (Marshall Scientific, Richmond, VA, USA) and a Seeplex STD Detection Kit (Seegene, Seoul, Republic of Korea). The co-infection rate with STI pathogens was analyzed according to age and sex.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 3297 clinical samples, 1017 (30.9%) tested positive for sexually transmitted pathogens, ranging from one to six co-infections. Analysis of the co-infection rate by age revealed that the average age gradually decreased as the total number of co-infection pathogens increased. The co-infection percentage and age distribution of STIs differed according to sex. Co-infection was more prevalent in female patients. Furthermore, co-infection in male patients occurred frequently in the 30-39-year-old group, while those in female patients occurred in the 20-29- and 30-39-year-old groups.
UNASSIGNED: Our statistical analysis showed that STI co-infections were more common among younger than older people. Therefore, it helps in recognizing STIs at a young age and provides possible indicator data to prevent STIs at a young age. In addition, further research is needed on co-infection in other regions.
