Are Urogenital Symptoms Caused by Sexually Transmitted Infections and Colonizing Bacteria?
Copyright © 2021, ASCCP..
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and colonizing bacteria in relation to urogenital symptoms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, patients visiting the STI clinic at Umeå University Hospital were asked for symptoms and condom use. Samples from 759 patients (465 male and 294 female) were analyzed for 4 STIs (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Mycoplasma genitalium) and 3 colonizing bacteria (Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, and Ureaplasma urealyticum).
RESULTS: Chlamydia trachomatis prevalence was 11% among women and 9.5% among men. Neisseria gonorrhoeae prevalence was 0.7% among women and 0.9% among men. Mycoplasma genitalium was found in 11% and 5.6% of women and men, respectively. Asymptomatic men and women had similar distribution patterns of microorganisms as those with urogenital symptoms, with the exceptions of Neisseria gonorrhoeae- and Mycoplasma genitalium-infected men who declared symptoms more frequently. Of 158 men with urogenital symptoms, 55% were test-negative. Of 129 women with urogenital symptoms, 12% were test-negative.
CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals a complex picture, where a large number of multi-positive tests made it complicated to correlate urogenital symptoms with microorganisms. A high number of test-negative but symptomatic patients indicate a need of searching for additional pathogens.
