Early, uninformed, promiscuous. And increasingly at risk of sexually transmitted diseases. dermatologists warn that teenagers are Be the first to fall into the net of diseases such as chlamydia, an increase of 2% or syphilis, which hits back after years of silence, recording a slow but relentless escalation of the phenomenon. Victims ideals? They are the 'bad guy' Italian-style guys always looking for adventure of a night, regardless of the risk and 'enemies' of condoms, but at least hopelessly fascinated by the world of the high. Sex and drugs, a combination that multiplies the risks. "The use of drugs does nothing but aggravate the disease by interfering with the action of drugs," warns Mario Aricò, president of SIDEMAST (Italian Society of Dermatology medical, surgical, aesthetic and STD transmitted), which together all'Adoi scientific society (Association of Italian hospital dermatologists) is organizing in Naples, May 28 to 31, the fourth National Congress of Dermatology and Venereology unified. The phenomenon is even more serious when referring to syphilis. "In this case the drug causes problems weakened the effects of penicillin." With health consequences, related to the fact that the body has more difficulty in disposing of drugs. Experts from the SIDEMAST observed a return of this neglected disease. Syphilis, which seemed to have settled with the discovery of penicillin, is now a growing disease. Especially among young people. Currently in Italy, explains Aricò, there are 1,200 new cases. "After the surge in 2001 and 2002 - remember the dermatologist - there was a slowdown. But syphilis continues to run and this year the patients increased by 5%." A worry the experts are especially pregnant girls representing 10% of patients. A situation considered more risky, since the mothers can transmit the infection to the unborn child through the placenta. "In cases like these - Aricò continues - it is important to understand when the young man had contracted the disease to treat it promptly with appropriate treatment. If the woman became ill during the first or second month of pregnancy, the risk of infection is very high . Something must be done as soon as possible to prevent diseases important to the child: congenital syphilis was extremely severe. If no one recognizes it can lead to abortion or cause significant malformations in the fetus. "In the focus of the disease end up mainly because young people, said the expert, have lowered their guard." There is more attention to red flags . Often the physical signals are ignored, and in our department, in the dermatological clinic of the University of Palermo - report Arica - there's more and more patients with secondary-stage syphilis. "The diagnosis can be reached by about 6-8 months late. The same non-gonococcal urethritis occurs with chlamydia. Infections increasingly popular in the range of età tra i 15 e i 24 anni. L'aumento che è stato registrato quest'anno è del 2% circa. "Si tratta di patologie che possono dare problemi gravi soprattutto alla donna - avverte - perché impegnano tutto l'organo genitale. Un'infezione pelvica disseminata in soggetti immunodepressi può anche trasformarsi in setticemia". I dermatologi hanno anche problemi a capire quanti adolescenti contraggono la malattia: "I numeri che possiamo raccogliere negli ospedali non sono credibili - osserva Aricò - anche perché c'è una sacca di casi sommersi non indifferente. Spesso i ragazzi preferiscono restare nell'anonimato e si rivolgono ai propri amici, piuttosto che ricorrere all'aiuto di un medico".
