Ten adolescent men presented with prostatic enlargement and positive anterior urethral cultures for gonococci. Six of them had urethritis, but four were asymptomatic; the prostate is therefore implicated as a reservoir for the asymptomatic carrier and it is strongly recommended that the rectum should be included in the routine physical examination of sexually active adolescent men.
十名青春期男性出现前列腺肿大,前尿道淋病奈瑟菌培养呈阳性。其中六人患有尿道炎,但四人无症状;因此,前列腺被认为是无症状携带者的储存库,强烈建议在对性活跃的青春期男性进行常规体格检查时应包括直肠检查。
