Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of sexually transmitted diseases and summarize the current legally binding regulations and guidelines of the Ministry of Health regarding the mandatory reporting, follow-up and contact tracing. Another aim is to provide information on up-to-date guidelines for gonorrhea treatment, which may become a significant health concern due to the ability of Neisseria gonorrhoeae develop resistance to antimicrobial therapies.
Only one regimen, dual treatment with ceftriaxone and azithromycin, is recommended for treatment of gonorrhea worldwide.
