性传播微生物引起的尿道炎和宫颈炎症等下生殖道感染是青少年发病率的一个重要来源。这些疾病的症状可能不同，从无症状到排尿困难，尿液和阴道分泌物(在宫颈炎症的情况下)||1，2]。引起尿道炎和宫颈炎症的常见微生物是淋球菌和沙眼衣原体。Cates和他的同事[3]估计1996年美国衣原体感染的发病率为300万，淋病感染为65万。解脲支原体、人型支原体、生殖支原体和阴道毛滴虫也与这些临床症状有关。虽然这些感染如果及早治疗很容易根除，但其中一些感染与严重的生殖健康后果[L，4、5]、更多的系统性影响，如播散性淋球菌感染和莱特氏综合征，以及促进艾滋病毒传播[6]有关。
Lower genitourinary infections, such as urethritis and cervicitis, caused by sexually transmitted microorganisms are a significant source of morbidity for adolescents. Symptoms of these conditions may vary from asymptomatic to dysuria, urethral discharge, and vaginal discharge (in the case of cervicitis)|| 1, 2]. Common causative organisms for urethritis and cervicitis are Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Cates and colleagues [3] estimated the incidence of chlamydial infection in the United States in 1996 was 3 million and gonorrhea infection was 650,000. Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, M genitalium, and Trichomonas vaginalis also are implicated in these clinical conditions. Although easily eradicable if treated early, some of these infections have been linked to serious reproductive health consequences [l, 4, 5], more systemic effects such as disseminated gonococcal infections and Reiter's syndrome, and facilitation of HIV transmission [6].
