Abstract

#Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are now the commonest group of #infectious diseases in most countries, particularly in the 15-50 age group. The worldwide incidence of major bacterial and viral STDs is estimated at over 125 million cases each year. STDs not only have a negative impact on health, especially reproductive health but also seriously affect #socio-economic. Nowadays, exponential development of science and technology generates many modern methods for quick and accurate diagnosis STDs. This study was conducted by a cross-sectional descriptive method, on 300 men who were suspected of having urogenital tract infections. The samples were tested by realtime PCR for identifying 11 microorganisms. The result was that the rate of patients diagnosed with microorganisms was 72.9%. #Gardnerella vaginalis was the most common pathogenic bacteria (45.7%). The rates of mono-infection and multi-infection were similar, at 49% and 51%, respectively. G. vaginalis was the most common cause of mono-infection and multi-infection. Patients in sexually active age (from 20 to 29 years old) accounted for the largest percentage of men suspected of having STDs (42.7%) as well as men who had urogenital tract infections (43.9%). Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a group of infectious diseases that have a negative influence on human health, especially reproductive health [1]. Despite the crucial progress in terms of diagnosis, treatment and prevention (e.g. vaccination), they remain the most widespread and hazardous infectious diseases [2]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about one million STDs are acquired every day worldwide. In developing countries in Africa and Asia, STDs are one of the five most common #diseases [3].
