  • Title: Haemophilus parainfluenzae urethritis among homosexual men.
    Author: Hsu MS, Wu MY, Lin TH, Liao CH.
    Journal: J Microbiol Immunol Infect; 2015 Aug; 48(4):450-2. PubMed ID: 23357607.
    Abstract:
    Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a common inhabitant of the human upper respiratory tract of the normal oral microflora. We report three men who had been having unprotected sex with men (MSM) and subsequently acquired H. parainfluenzae urethritis, which was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. Two men were treated with ceftriaxone and doxycycline, and the third man was treated with clarithromycin. All three patients responded to treatment. This case series highlights the potential role of H. parainfluenzae as a sexually transmitted genitourinary pathogen.
