title: [The status of the morbidity and the main trends in the improvement of the epidemiological surveillance of sexually transmitted infections in the city of Moscow].
abstract: The present situation in sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is regarded as unfavorable. Differing tendencies in morbidity levels for various nosological forms have been established. The continuing growth of syphilis morbidity among children is considered to be specially alarming, and an increase in the number of cases of congenital syphilis is noted. The reasons of the growth of STD morbidity have not only medical, but mainly socio-economical, psychological, ethical and moral character. The main trends in the improvement of epidemiological surveillance on STD have been determined.
