Summary: | Abstract
A 21-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-positive male patient presented with complaints of multiple hyperpigmented verrucous papules over his perianal area. He reported having unprotected anal and oral sex with multiple male partners. On examination, superficial ill-defined perianal erosions were present. A first void urine sample and clinician-collected rectal and oropharyngeal swabs were sent for the detection of
Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis
, and
Ureaplasma
spp. Rectal swab tested positive for all the four pathogens. Oropharyngeal swab and urine samples tested positive for
C. trachomatis
. The patient was treated with doxycycline and moxifloxacin. This case underscores the importance of screening of men who have sex with men for possible coinfections with multiple sexually transmitted pathogens. |
