Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sexually transmitted infections are classified as a group of socially significant diseases, causing infertility, premature birth, congenital pathology, fetal abnormalities, oncological diseases, affecting reproductive health.
AIM: Epidemiological characteristics of the morbidity of children of the Republic of Tatarstan with sexually transmitted infections.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the incidence of sexually transmitted infections in children in the Republic of Tatarstan was carried out according to statistical form No. 9 “Information on STI diseases and infectious skin diseases” for 2011–2020. The data is processed in Microsoft Excel.
RESULTS: In 2011–2020, there is a statistically significant tendency to decrease the incidence of sexually transmitted infections in children in the Republic of Tatarstan, with the stabilization of the incidence of sexually transmitted infections in boys 0–14 years old. For 2011–2020 among children with sexually transmitted infections, a large proportion are girls aged 15–17 (83%). In the nosological structure of sexually transmitted infections in children aged 0–17 and 15–17 years, including girls, anogenital warts (42; 43; 45; 46%), chlamydia (18; 19; 19; 20%), trichomoniasis (18; 18; 20; 20%); in boys of these ages: gonorrhea (32%; 37%), anogenital warts (31%; 28%), chlamydia (14%; 16%). In children 0–14 years of age, the structure of sexually transmitted infections includes anogenital warts (38% in all, 34% of girls, 49% of boys), syphilis (21; 17; 32% respectively), trichomoniasis (13% of all, 17% of girls, 3% of boys), gonorrhea (13; 15; 8% respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: The registration of all forms of sexually transmitted infections in children causes socio-epidemiological anxiety and is a reason for a detailed analysis of the epidemiological situation. The study of the incidence of sexually transmitted infections among children and adolescents in different regions, the identification of epidemiological features will provide a more accurate description of the problem and develop recommendations for the prevention of infection in this socially vulnerable population group.
