Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence and carry on a survey of demographic aspects of the clinical manifestations and
treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases in children and adolescents at the 28th Outpatient Clinic of ”Santa Casa
da Misericórdia”, Rio de Janeiro. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of the medical records of 21 patients
with Sexually Transmitted Diseases for the period of January 2005-December 2010 at the 28th infi rmary of “Santa Casa
da Misericórdia”, Rio de Janeiro. The results were presented in percentage calculation using the Excel program. Results:
the average age was 7 years (rangIng from 3 to 17). The most frequent sexually transmitted disease was condylomatosis
in 66.68%, followed by trichomoniase in 19.04%, chlamydia in 4.76% and syphilis in 4.76%. The clinical manifestations
most common were verrucous lesions in 66.67% of cases, followed by vaginal discharge in 28.57%; The therapy most
widely used was the cauterization with 38.1% trichloacetic acid, followed by trichloroacetic acid and podophyllin 19.04%,
podophyllin in 4.76% benzatinic penicilin in 4.76% and azithromycin in 4.76% of cases. Conclusion: The most prevalent
diagnosis was condyloma, with clinical manifestations of verrucuous lesions. The ideal treatment for condyloma in children
is with imiquimod cream. Screening of STD in adolescents must be deployed as part of a national screening, since early
exposure increases the risk of developing cancer and other sequels such as infertility. Therefore, new and better protocols
are required for diagnosis and therapy adequate for this population.
