Researchers develop novel mouse model to witness immune system attack on chlamydia
Using a novel mouse model that allows scientists to study how the immune system's fighter cells respond to invaders in the genital tract during the initial stage of infection, Harvard Medical School (HMS) researchers have found a way to track immunity against Chlamydia trachomatis. view more (2006-07-25)
Chlamydia In Men Now Also Linked To Infertility - New Findings
Chlamydia infection in women has been known for some time to be linked to infertility, but Swedish research published today (Thursday 29 April) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1] has found evidence that infection in men can also lessen the chance of their partners becoming pregnant. A team from Ume'å... view more... (2004-04-26)

RISK OF PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE IN IUD CONTRACEPTIVE USERS LOWER THAN FEARED (p 443)
The risk of developing full clinical pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) associated with sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) may not be as high as suspected in women using an intra-uterine device (IUD) reports a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The IUD is a common method of contraception, although its use varies greatly in... view more... (2001-02-07)
Invention gives improved gene technology analysis
A patent for a system that gives more reliable results in gene technology-based diagnostic tests has been granted to researchers at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH). view more (2008-04-25)
Researchers explore the emerging role of infection in Alzheimer's disease
A number of chronic diseases are in fact caused by one or more infectious agents. For example, stomach ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori, chronic lung disease in newborns and chronic asthma in adults are both caused by Mycoplasmas and Chlamydia pneumonia, while some other pathogens have been associated with atherosclerosis. view more (2008-05-23)
Researchers pilot new electronic system for infectious illness
Researchers at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Harvard Medical School, Atrius Health, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health have created and tested a set of computer programs that use electronic medical records to help clinicians detect contagious illness and automatically report them to public health departments. view more (2008-04-10)
Microbiology Today magazine May 2003
The number of sexually transmitted infections (STI) is rising rapidly. This issue of Microbiology Today focuses on various aspects of the problem. The second National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal 2000), funded by the Medical Research Council, is the most recent data on sexual behaviour in Britain. This study confirmed that the... view more... (2003-05-07)

Risk of ectopic pregnancies after IVF declines with age in women with tubal disease
The first study to look at the risk of ectopic[1] pregnancies after IVF in a complete national ART register has unearthed a surprising result, a conference of international fertility experts heard today (Tuesday 1 July). The researchers found that women face a slightly increased risk of ectopic pregnancies after IVF. More surprisingly, they found... view more... (2003-06-28)

Cow infections could provide clue to preventing infertility in women
Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College, London, have made a significant breakthrough in their understanding of how infection of the uterus damages fertility in cows. view more (2007-10-26)
Natural fats can prevent sexually transmitted infections, including HIV
A fat commonly found in foodstuffs such as milk can rapidly destroy sexually transmitted viruses and bacteria, including HIV, researchers have discovered. The search for another method to prevent sexually acquired infections has intensified since reports that frequent use of commercially available spermicidal products may be toxic to the vagina... view more...

Antibiotic Resistance Could Increase Rates Of UK Gonorrhoea Infection (p 1867)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET are calling for UK gonorrhoea treatment guidelines to be revised in light of new evidence showing a steep increase in antibiotic resistance. After chlamydia, gonorrhoea is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK. The symptoms include pain when passing... view more... (2003-05-28)
Sexually transmitted disease, urinary tract infections may be bad combination for birth defect Chances of gastroschisis increase fourf
Women who reported having both a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and urinary tract infection (UTI) just before or during early pregnancy were four times more likely to have babies with gastroschisis-a severe birth defect in which infants are born with their intestines and other internal organs outside the abdomen, University of Utah researchers... view more...
