Isolation of<i>Haemophilus influenzae</i>and<i>Haemophilus parainfluenzae</i>in urethral exudates from men with acute urethritis: a descriptive study of 52 cases: Table 1

Abstract

Haemophilus spp was considered a pathogen in at least 6.8% of the patients from the evaluated area. It affected men regardless their sexual orientation or HIV status. Unprotected oral sex could play a role in its transmission. The limitations of the study (small sample size and lack of a representative control group) do not allow to prove the true pathogenic role of Haemophilus spp in acute urethritis.
