🗑
Wet prep swab   cotton swab; rotate over vaginal wall/inflammation; avoid cervical mucus/blood; in 1 mL saline; to lab within 20 min  
🗑

🗑
Urethral NG cx   Collect ≥1 hr post urination; ideal: prior to first morning micturition; swab anterior urethra  
🗑
HSV cx   vesicle: unroof lesion (18 ga needle), abrade w/cotton swab; crusted: remove crust w/moist gauze, scrape w/cotton swab; transport medium, refrigerate if delay  
🗑

🗑
4-fold rise in HSV titer =   acute initial HSV infxn  
🗑
Darkfield for syphilis   pos = dx; not definitive if neg  
🗑
Syphilis: nontreponemal tests   RPR more sensitive than VDRL; VDRL pos 2 wks after inoculation, pos thru secondary and often in tertiary  
🗑
All syphilis tests 100% sensitive in stage:   secondary  
🗑
Syphilis: treponemal test   FTA; more specific, pos 4-6 wks post inoculation; FTA-Abs (sandwich): more sensitive = definitive test; MHA-TP  
🗑
NG tests   gram stain, cx (specify suspicion), NAAT (DNA by PCR)  
🗑
Chancroid tests   cx (specify suspicion), DNA PCR, no serology  
🗑

🗑
LGV test   complement fixation  
🗑
GN bipolar rods encapsulated in mononuclear lymphs =   Granuloma inguinale (donovan bodies)  
🗑
Women <21 yo w/ASCUS or LSIL   repeat pap in 12 mos  
🗑
Women <21 yo w/ HSIL   colposcopy +/- cytology  
🗑
Adult women w/ASCUS (Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance)   repeat cyto (6 & 12 mos), HPV DNA, and colposcopy  
🗑
Adult women w/ASCUS-H   colposcopy; if neg: cyto (6 & 12 mos), HPV DNA q 12 mos  
🗑
Adult women w/ LSIL (low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia)   Colpo, then endomet bx; if no CIN: cyto (6&12) & HPV DNA (12 mos)  
🗑
Adult women w/ HSIL (high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia)   immediate excision OR colpo, then observe or dx excision  
🗑
Adult women w/ AGC (atypical glandular cells)   endomet/endocerv bx, then colpo  
🗑
indications for endometrial ca testing   AUB >35-40 yo; AGC on Pap (also needs Colposcopy); Benign Endometrial Cells on pap if woman post menopausal  
🗑
endomet bx advantages   in office; minimal dilation; anesthesia not req; prophylactic Abx not req; low cost  
🗑
amenorrhea labs   HCG, FSH, estrogen, prolactin, testost; progesterone challenge to detn if suff estrogen  
🗑

🗑
Next test when colpo results unsat or endocervical curettage shows severe dz:   conization  
🗑

🗑
PID testing   DNA probe for GC/CT; TVUS; poss dx culdocentesis  
🗑
Chlamydia labs   complement fixation or immunofluorescence; ELISA; or DNA probe  
🗑
Tests for trichomonas   OSOM rapid test. Affirm VP III (nucleic acid probe test). Both 83% sens, 97% spec.  
🗑
Male vs female contributions to infertility   Male in 40% of cases. Female: anovulatory cycles, congenital / acquired fallopian/cervical/uterine problems. 60% of couples PG within 3 years  
🗑
Cervical cancer dx studies   Pap. Colposcopy & bx for staging. Conization if colposcopy nondiagnostic. MRI, CT, pelvic lymphangiography to demonstrate pelvic involvement. Advanced dz: cystoscopy, sigmoidoscopy. CXR to r/o mets  
🗑
