Human immunodeficiency virus, genital ulcers and the male foreskin: synergism in HIV-1 transmission.
(1990)
Epidemiologic studies in Nairobi and elsewhere in Africa, have shown that men infected with HIV-1 more commonly have a history of genital ulcer disease compared to uninfected men. In one study, HIV infected men were three ...
A randomized, double-blind study of the efficacy of fleroxacin versus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in men with culture-proven chancroid.
(World Health Organisation Centre for Research and Training on Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 1992)
Chancroid is linked to the spread of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in East Africa. Effective, easily administered therapy is a priority for the control of Haemophilus ducreyi. The efficacy of a single oral ...
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 seroconversion in women with genital ulcers.
(1994)
Genital ulcers are implicated as a risk factor enhancing susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. A prospective study to determine the incidence of and risk factors associated with acquisition ...
Isolation and identification of Haemophilus ducreyi in a clinical laboratory
(University of Nairobi, 1986-09)
Routine procedures used to isolate Haemophilus ducreyi in a busy laboratory are reported. Identification was based on colony morphology and nutritional and biochemical properties of 120 fresh isolates of H. ducreyi. These ...
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 seroconversion in women with genital ulcers
(1994)
Genital ulcers are implicated as a risk factor enhancing susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. A prospective study to determine the incidence of and risk factors associated with acquisition ...
Comparison of Sheffield media with standard media for the isolation of Haemophilus ducreyi
(1989)
Isolation of Haemophilus ducreyi is the only method for the definitive diagnosis of chancroid. Culture on supplemented gonococcal base (GCHgs) or on supplemented Muller-Hinton agar (MHHb) has yielded the best isolation ...
Human immunodeficiency virus infection among men with sexually transmitted diseases. Experience from a center in Africa
(1988)
Heterosexual transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) appears to occur readily in Africa but less commonly in North America and Europe. We conducted a case-control study among men attending a clinic for ...
Single-dose cefixime versus single-dose ceftriaxone in the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection.
(1992)
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have a significant adverse effect on reproductive and child health worldwide. The control of STDs such as gonorrhea is therefore an absolute priority. Cefixime, an oral third-generation ...
