                   Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases

--  Hospitalizations for acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease
    (PID) have declined since the early 1980's (Figure_28). Initial
    visits to physicians' offices for PID declined from 1993 to 1995
    (Figure_29). In 1993, an estimated 313,000 women aged 15-44 years
    were diagnosed with PID in emergency departments (National Ambulatory
    Medical Care Survey, NCHS).

--  Since 1987, reported cases of chancroid have declined steadily
    (Table_1, Figure_31).

--  Comprehensive surveillance data for non-gonococcal urethritis, genital
    herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, and trichomoniasis are not
    available. Ongoing trend data are limited to estimates of trends in
    physicians' office practices provided by the National Disease and
    Therapeutic Index (Figure_30, Figure_32, Figure_33,
    Figure_34).
