Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) represent a substantial public health concern, particularly among patients seeking care in gynecological and obstetric settings. While "classic venereal diseases," including syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, and lymphogranuloma venereum, continue to be prevalent in developing countries, their incidence has notably decreased in developed regions. In contrast, infections such as hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, genital herpes, Chlamydia trachomatis, and HPV are becoming increasingly significant on a global scale. It is noteworthy that many of these infections are often asymptomatic, yet they can potentially lead to serious complications, including infertility, miscarriages, and even cancer.
Each infection is addressed in dedicated chapters, which provide comprehensive information on the pathogen, incidence rates, risk factors, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostics, complications, treatment options, and prevention strategies. The text also emphasizes the importance of these infections in obstetrics and neonatology, where relevant.
To ensure quick access to vital information, the text features numerous clear algorithms and tables for diagnostics and treatment, all aligned with the latest national and international guidelines and recommendations.
After completing his studies at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens in Greece, the University of Rostock in Germany, Brown University in the USA, and the University of Melbourne in Australia, Prof. Dr. med.

He has published over 300 scientific articles in national and international journals and authored more than 100 articles in textbooks and clinical guidelines on gynecology, obstetrics, and infectious diseases. Additionally, he has authored or co-edited six books.
