The bacterial loads for gonococcal infections of the pharynx and rectum were determined among men with male sexual partners. The median bacterial load for rectal infections (18,960 copies/swab) was significantly higher than the load for pharyngeal infections (2,100 copies/swab; P = 0.001). Bacterial loads among men with symptomatic proctitis were strikingly high (median, 278,000 copies/swab).
本研究旨在确定男性性伴侣人群中咽和直肠淋球菌感染的细菌载量。直肠感染的中位细菌载量(18960 拷贝/拭子)显著高于咽感染的载量(2100 拷贝/拭子;P=0.001)。有直肠炎症状的男性的细菌载量高得惊人(中位数为 278000 拷贝/拭子)。
