Surveillance data show that there is an increase in the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and we believe that because of this increased incidence, coupled with a deteriorating public health infrastructure, these STIs are being seen more often in emergency departments. Therefore, we used six years of the most recently available nationally-representative emergency department data to showan increase in the number of emergency department visits where a sexually transmitted infection was treated. We further described the population for these visits. Published by Elsevier Inc.
