This study from South Africa highlights the importance of rectal Trichomonas vaginalis infection as a sexually transmitted infection among men who have sex with men (MSM). We report seven MSM presenting with rectal T. vaginalis infection. Two men presented with symptoms of proctitis; 5/7 had urethral coinfection with T. vaginalis. Rectal T. vaginalis infection should be considered in MSM in areas where genital infection is endemic.
这项来自南非的研究强调了直肠阴道毛滴虫感染作为男男性行为者(MSM)中一种性传播感染的重要性。我们报告了7例患有直肠阴道毛滴虫感染的男男性行为者。两名男性出现直肠炎症状;7例中有5例同时存在尿道阴道毛滴虫感染。在生殖器感染流行的地区,男男性行为者应考虑直肠阴道毛滴虫感染。
