A total of 83 male homosexuals were studied to ascertain the carriage of intestinal protozoal cysts. The homosexual group had a significantly (p less than 0.0005) higher prevalence than a control group. One or more types of protozoa were found in 33 homosexuals. The carriage of intestinal protozoal cysts was associated with particular sexual practices and promiscuity, but not with symptomatic bowel disorders. The possible implications of the carriage of these cysts are discussed.
共对83名男性同性恋者进行了研究,以确定肠道原生动物囊肿的携带情况。同性恋组的患病率显著高于对照组(p<0.0005)。在33名同性恋者中发现了一种或多种原生动物。肠道原生动物囊肿的携带与特定的性行为和滥交有关,但与有症状的肠道疾病无关。文中讨论了这些囊肿携带情况可能产生的影响。
