  • Title: Isolated pharyngeal Neisseria gonorrhoeae in heterosexual male contacts.
    Author: Thomson-Glover R, Brown R, Edirisinghe DN.
    Journal: Int J STD AIDS; 2013 Dec; 24(12):983-5. PubMed ID: 23970625.
    Abstract:
    Pharyngeal infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) in heterosexual men is thought to be of low prevalence and the value of routinely testing this group of patients is uncertain. We present two cases of NG, isolated only in the pharynx, in asymptomatic heterosexual male contacts. The presence of pharyngeal NG was found irrespective of direct oropharyngeal sexual exposure.
