[Gynecological infections in general practice].
Although infections of the lower female genital tract are common, they only rarely pose diagnostic and therapeutic problems for the experienced clinician. If there is no response to primary therapy, however, or in cases of recurrence further steps are indicated. Sexually transmitted diseases are characterized by common involvement of the upper genital tract by ascending infection. Appropriate therapeutic measures including treatment of the partner are important in order to prevent severe acute and chronic diseases.
