Carriage of Haemophilus ducreyi has not been adequately investigated in men, and its role in urethritis is unknown. In this study 456 men with H. ducreyi-culture positive genital ulcers were investigated. Among these men, 16 (3.5%) had urethritis. H. ducreyi was isolated from the urethra of nine men (1.9%). Of 57 men who had chancroid but not urethritis, none had H. ducreyi isolated from the urethra. Of 106 patients presenting with only acute urethritis, H. ducreyi was found in one. We conclude that H. ducreyi is responsible for acute urethritis in men, but that it rarely, if ever, can be cultured from the urethra of men with chancroid who do not have symptomatic urethritis.
在男性中，杜克雷嗜血杆菌的携带情况尚未得到充分研究，其在尿道炎中的作用也尚不清楚。在本研究中，对456名杜克雷嗜血杆菌培养阳性的男性生殖器溃疡患者进行了调查。在这些男性中，16人（3.5%）患有尿道炎。从9名男性（1.9%）的尿道中分离出了杜克雷嗜血杆菌。在57名患有软下疳但没有尿道炎的男性中，没有人尿道中分离出杜克雷嗜血杆菌。在106名仅表现为急性尿道炎的患者中，仅1人发现有杜克雷嗜血杆菌。我们得出结论，杜克雷嗜血杆菌可导致男性急性尿道炎，但在没有症状性尿道炎的软下疳男性尿道中，极少（如果有的话）能培养出该菌。
