The prevalence of sexually transmitted infection was studied in 40 men presenting with acute epididymo-orchitis in Leeds. Chlamydia trachomatis infection was identified in 13 of 29 men (45%) aged under 35 years. Neisseria gonorrhoeae was isolated from four of these 13 men with chlamydial urethritis. C trachomatis was isolated from the urethra of only one of 11 men (9%) aged over 35. Appreciable bacteriuria was found in six of these 11 men (55%). Noting details of sexual history and screening for sexually acquired pathogens is advocated in younger men with acute epidiymo-orchitis.
在利兹,对40名患有急性附睾睾丸炎的男性进行了性传播感染患病率的研究。在29名年龄在35岁以下的男性中,有13名(45%)被确诊为沙眼衣原体感染。在这13名衣原体尿道炎男性中,有4人分离出淋病奈瑟菌。在11名年龄超过35岁的男性中,只有1人(9%)尿道分离出沙眼衣原体。在这11名男性中,有6人(55%)发现有明显的菌尿。对于患有急性附睾睾丸炎的年轻男性,提倡记录性病史细节并筛查性传播病原体。
