The magnitude of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region is not exactly known but considered to be not insignificant. A realistic estimate of the problem is necessary, to design an effective control program. This present study aimed to identify the most prevalent sexually transmitted viral agents among patients attending the STD clinic at Cairo Hospital for Skin and Venereal Diseases (El-Haud El-Marsoud). From persons attending this clinic whether complaining or visiting for screening, between October 1993 to April 1995, 95 cases were studied by history taking, clinical examination, bacteriological and serological examination for the detection of the most prevalent sexually transmitted organisms. Certain demographic and socio-economic factors interacting with sexual attitudes and practices were also studied. All the collected data for each patient were recorded. Antibodies (IgG) to cytomegalovirus (CMV) were detected in 86.3%, HBsAg in 10.5%, and antibodies to HBcAg were detected in 45.3%. Antibodies to HCV were detected in 8.4%, and antibodies to HIV in 5.3%.
