multiplex pcr testing detection of higher-than-expected rates of cervical mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and trichomonas and viral agent infections in sexually active australian women.knowing the prevalence of potential etiologic agents of nongonococcal and nonchlamydial cervicitis is important for improving the efficacy of empirical treatments for this commonly encountered condition. we describe four multiplex pcrs (mpcrs), designated vdl05, vdl06, vdl07, and vdl09, which facilitate the detection of a wide range of agents either known to be or putatively associated with cervicitis, including cytomegalovirus (cmv), enterovirus (ev), epstein-barr virus (ebv), varicella-zoster ...200919261782
circumcision and risk of sexually transmissible infections in a community-based cohort of hiv-negative homosexual men in sydney, australia.circumcision status was examined as an independent risk factor for sexually transmissible infections (stis) in the health in men cohort of homosexual men in sydney.200919911990
smoking and infectious agents and risk of in situ cervical cancer in sydney, australia.in a study of 116 in situ cervical cancer patients and 193 matched community controls in sydney, australia, smoking was found to be a major risk factor. current smokers had a adjusted relative risk [rr] of 4.5 compared to nonsmokers [95% confidence interval (ci) 2.2-9.1] and exsmokers a rr of 1.3 [95% ci 0.6-3.0]. there was a stepwise dose-response relationship between risk and number of cigarettes smoked (30+ cigarettes/day, rr = 5.1, 95% ci 1.5-17.3); this dose-response relationship was more m ...19892547521
neonatal herpes prevention: a minor public health problem in some communities.neonatal herpes is a condition with high morbidity and mortality. the greatest risk occurs when the mother acquires herpes simplex virus (hsv) towards the end of pregnancy. a study from seattle has suggested that the risk of acquisition of hsv during pregnancy was 3.7%. in australia, hsv-2 infection is less common in pregnant women than in the united states. consequently we conducted a study to establish hsv seroprevalence and the rate of hsv seroconversion in this population.200011026885
sexually transmitted infections, blood-borne viruses and risk behaviour in an australian senior high school population--the shlirp study.to determine the feasibility and acceptability of screening for sexually transmitted infections and blood-borne viruses and to study the profile of sexual activity and other risk behaviours in a senior high school population.200516402670
increase in rates of herpes simplex virus type 1 as a cause of anogenital herpes in western sydney, australia, between 1979 and 2003.recent studies suggest that herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) is becoming more common as a cause for genital herpes, relative to hsv-2. we aimed to calculate trends in hsv type from isolates and serology samples sent to a reference virology laboratory in new south wales (nsw), australia.200616731681
simultaneous identification of 14 genital microorganisms in urine by use of a multiplex pcr-based reverse line blot assay.the aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a sensitive method for the simultaneous identification of 14 urogenital potential pathogens. a multiplex pcr-based reverse line blot (mpcr/rlb) assay was developed to detect 14 urogenital pathogens or putative pathogens, namely trichomonas vaginalis, streptococcus pneumoniae, neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, ureaplasma parvum, u. urealyticum, gardnerella vaginalis, haemophilus influenzae, herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv1) and hsv2, ...200919357202
sexual practices and dental dam use among women prisoners--a mixed methods study.dental dams have been distributed to women prisoners for protection against hiv and other sexually transmissible infections (stis) in some canadian and australian prisons for over a decade. however, we do not know whether they serve any useful public health purpose.201020465982
increasing role of herpes simplex virus type 1 in first-episode anogenital herpes in heterosexual women and younger men who have sex with men, 1992-2006.herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1 is causing an increasing proportion of anogenital herpes; however, it is unclear which populations are affected. we describe the contribution of hsv-1 to first-episode anogenital herpes and its associations.200919273479
herpes simplex virus type 2 antibody in patients attending antenatal or std clinics.to determine the prevalence of antibody to herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) in patients attending a general public antenatal clinic and three public sexually transmitted disease (std) clinics in sydney.19938387628
age-specific prevalence of herpes simplex viruses in melbourne.to characterise the epidemiology of anogenital herpes in melbourne by detailing the age-specific prevalence of herpes simplex virus (hsv) 1 and hsv 2.201121240068
herpes simplex virus infections in the neonate.to review the experience of the camperdown children's hospital with neonatal herpes simplex viral (hsv) infections between 1960 and 1992.19957576893
seroprevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 among the indigenous population of cape york, far north queensland, australia.the objective of this study was to obtain representative seroprevalence data for the indigenous population of far north queensland by measuring the age- and sex-specific seroprevalence of the herpes simplex viruses (hsv-1 and hsv-2) in cape york.201021062586
