    Flesh-eating STI Donovanosis which causes genitals to 'rot away' found in UK for first time

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...auses-13119783

    A sexually transmitted disease which causes the genitals to erupt into flesh-eating ulcers has been detected for the first time in the UK and it's making a comeback in other countries too.

    Usually found in far-flung tropical countries, there have been no previous cases of the rare STI Donovanosis recorded in the UK. That is until now.

    The nasty bug causes genital ulcers to grow and spread. If left untreated flesh in the groin literally starts to eat itself.

    And according to a Freedom of Information request, submitted by online pharmacy chemist-4-u.com, the rare sexually transmitted disease Donovanosis has been diagnosed three times.

    Twice in Bolton and once in a woman, between the age of 15 and 25, in Southport in the past 12 months.

    Although Donovanosis itself can be treated with antibiotics, time is of the essence.

    Infections typically occur in the genital area, but they can also appear around the nose, mouth and chest. In all, there are four types of Donovanosis to be aware of.

    The first is fleshy red ulcers that bleed when touched, known as ulcerogranulomatous.

    Secondly, a dry ulcer with a raised, uneven edge, this is known as the hypertrophic or verrucous type.

    A necrotic infection is deep and foul smelling and causes severe damage to the tissues.

    A sclerotic or cicatricial infection is a dry lesion with scar tissue.

    Sex with an infected person is not the only means of catching the disease, which is twice as likely to affect men than women.

    Simple contact with a victim's bleeding ulcer is enough for it to be passed on and symptoms can show one to 12 weeks after coming into contact with the bacteria.

    And without treatment, the ulcers increase in size and other bacteria can also attack the ulcers which then generate a foul smell.

    Half of infected men and women have sores in the anal area, which appear as small, red, beefy lumps.

    The bumps gradually erode but as the disease spreads it starts to destroy tissues in the infected area.

    There are also possible complications involved in contracting the disease, which can include permanent genital damage and scarring, loss of skin colour and irreversible genital swelling due to the scarring.

    The disease is usually found in tropical and subtropical countries such as southeast India, Guyana and New Guinea, and due to its rarity in Britain it doesn't appear on most STI lists, compiled by UK sexual health websites.

    But it's now far from being contained to far-flung places and instead is making a comeback in Australia and South Africa too.

    The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) said it has not found any previous cases in the UK.

    The FDA has issued a warning over a rare form of flesh-eating bacteria which targets the genitals, caused by several widely-used diabetes medications, reports Bloomberg's Michelle Cortez.

    The condition, known as "necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum," or Fournier's gangrene, has only affected 12 diabetes patients over a five-year span (seven men and five women), one of whom died - so if you come down with it the support group is going to be small. Also, if you'd like to never eat again, click here (don't do it).
    The drugs covered by the warning include Johnson & Johnson’s Invokana, AstraZeneca Plc’s Farxiga and Eli Lilly & Co.’s Jardiance. Known as SGLT2 inhibitors, they were approved in 2013, 2013 and 2016, respectively. The drugs help the body lower blood-sugar levels via the kidneys, and excess sugar is excreted in a patient’s urine. Urinary tract infections are a known side effect. -Bloomberg
    This is horrifying. Flesh-eating bacterial infection of the genitals linked to best-selling diabetes drugs (like $AZN's Farxiga, $JNJ's Invokana and $LLY's Jardiance). Just a dozen cases in the 5 years on the market, but all severe and one death. Yikes. Be cautious.
    — Michelle Fay Cortez (@FayCortez) August 29, 2018
    Cortez notes that in the past three decades, the FDA only found six other cases of the condition - all men, while reviewing all other diabetes drug classes.
    The FDA estimates apprximately 1.7 million patients were prescribed one of the affected medications from a retail pharmacy in 2017, while Bloomberg Intelligence believes the drugs are anticipated to generate as much as $7.1 billion in sales by 2020.
    All of the drugs in the class except Merck & Co.’s Steglujan, the most recently approved, have been linked to the condition. The manufacturers must add information about the risk to the prescribing information and medicine guides given to patients. AstraZeneca said it is working with the agency on updating the label and noted that it hadn’t seen any cases of the condition during the development of Farxiga. -Bloomberg
    And now for the fine print from the FDA:

    • Patients should seek medical attention immediately if you experience any symptoms of tenderness, redness, or swelling of the genitals or the area from the genitals back to the rectum, and have a fever above 100.4 F or a general feeling of being unwell. These symptoms can worsen quickly, so it is important to seek treatment right away.


    • Health care professionals should assess patients for Fournier’s gangrene if they present with the symptoms described above. If suspected, start treatment immediately with broad-spectrum antibiotics and surgical debridement if necessary. Discontinue the SGLT2 inhibitor, closely monitor blood glucose levels, and provide appropriate alternative therapy for glycemic control.


    • Publications report that Fournier’s gangrene occurs in 1.6 out of 100,000 males annually in the U.S., and most frequently occurs in males 50-79 years (3.3 out of 100,000).1-3 In our case series, however, we observed events in both women and men.

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    We probably shouldn't be encouraging him. I'd prefer if England's STD's were to remain in England.
