AB The  usual  approach  to  sexually  transmitted  diseases  (STDs)  considers  the  causative  agents,  emphasizing  different  classes,  genera,  species,  and  microbiological  characteristics.  This  fits  with  most  medical  school  curricula  since  the  causative  agents  span  the  full  spectrum  of  medical  microbiology  (viruses,  bacteria,  protozoa,  ectoparasites,  and  so  on).  This  classical  approach  often  proves  difficult  in  clinical  practice,  where  many  different  types  of  agents  must  be  considered  in  the  differential  diagnosis  of  an  individual  patient.
