Due to biomedical, behavioral and societal factors, reproductive tract infections are widespread in the Third World. Without early diagnosis and accurate therapy, their complications severely compromise women's health, fertility and productivity; infant health and survival; and the effectiveness of family planning programs. Clinicians and public health planners can address these treatable syndromes through research and services in socially acceptable settings including family planning, prenatal and MCH clinics. Specific approaches are discussed.
