Part of the recognised Clinical Focus on Dermatology series, this book provides clinicians with the latest advances and knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Aligned with WHO, CDC and IADVL guidelines, the text covers bacterial, viral and parasitic STIs, with symptom and aetiological diagnostic approaches, correlating STI features with dermatological manifestations. Laboratory techniques for diagnosis, and prevention and vaccination, are discussed in depth. The comprehensive text also considers public health issues such as surveillance, contact tracing, partner management, and outbreak control, as well as medico-legal aspects. Authored by experienced clinicians, the book is further enhanced by clinical images, microscopy, laboratory panels, and flowcharts. Case scenarios, OSCE stations and sample questions help students prepare for examinations.
