Summary     Izhodišča. Predstavljeni sta dve najpomembnejši spolno prenosljivi bolezni, sifilis in gonoreja in narava njunih povzročiteljev. Epidemiologija in klinična slika. Prikazano je gibanje obeh bolezni v Sloveniji od 1951 do danes. Zaradi izrazitega upadanja sifilisa v zadnjih dvajsetih letih smo nanj nekoliko pozabili in ga zanemarili. V letu 1994 pa je incidenca sifilisa narasla na 1,82 na 100.000 prebivalcev, kar je približno enako kot pred 12 leti. Razloženo je tudi navidezno upadanje gonoreje. Kratko sta prikazani klinični sliki obeh bolezni in njune posebnosti in postopki za pravilno in takojšnjo diagnozo, ki je pri sifilisu in gonoreji zelo pomembna. Zaključki. Epidemiološki položaj obeh bolezni spet zahteva večjo pozornost zdravstvene službe. Načini zdravljenja pri nas so usklajeni s podobnimi postopki v razvitem svetu. Pri obeh boleznih so navedene tudi najpogostejše napake pri diagnostiki in zdravljenju.
