Syndromic Management of Sexually Transmitted Infections- Is It the Need of the Day in Indian Perspective
Authors: Nibedita Das, Shibani Datta.
Abstract
Syndromic management is the protocol followed in India at the present moment. This approach has been adapted by National Aids Control Organization (NACO) in reference to WHO guidelines present for STI management. Though this method of controlling STI is still appropriate for resource poor settings and limited laboratory diagnosis overtreatment and under-treatment are the adverse effects. Evaluation of this approach is needed from time to time on population based studies and concerted efforts from different sectors are the need of the day.
