Perigenital molluscum contagiosum in adults is recognized as being a sexually transmitted infection. A retrospective casenote review was performed on patients attending a department of genitourinary medicine (GUM) who had been diagnosed as having molluscum. One or more co-existent sexually transmitted diseases (STD) were present in 30.4% of 158 men and in 32.1% of 78 women. High rates of concurrent STD were also found in patients whose only presenting symptom was molluscum-in 23.2% of men and 10.5% of women. These rates of STD would undoubtedly have been higher still had the screening of these patients been more comprehensive. In view of these findings it is advisable that adults with perigenital molluscum contagiosum be screened for other STD and that their sexual partners be contact-traced. This wil usually required referral to a department of GUM.
成人生殖器周围传染性软疣被认为是一种性传播感染。对一家泌尿生殖医学科（GUM）诊断为患有传染性软疣的患者进行了回顾性病历审查。在158名男性患者中，30.4%存在一种或多种并存的性传播疾病（STD），78名女性患者中这一比例为32.1%。在仅以传染性软疣为唯一症状的患者中也发现了较高的STD并发率——男性为23.2%，女性为10.5%。如果对这些患者的筛查更全面，STD的并发率无疑会更高。鉴于这些发现，建议对患有生殖器周围传染性软疣的成年人进行其他STD筛查，并对其性伴侣进行接触者追踪。这通常需要转诊至泌尿生殖医学科。
