Male urethritis, Neisseria meningitidisAbstract
We report on the case of a 39 year-old white male who developed urethritis eight days after orogenital contact (fellatio) with a prostitute. Group B N. meningitidis was recovered from the urethral secretion; the strain was negative for β lactamase production. Response to cyprofloxacin treatment was satisfactory. Control cultures for Neisseriawere negative eight days after completing treatment. At that moment direct immunofluorescence for Chlamydia trachomatis antigens were also negative. The significance of N. meningitidis in genital tract infections is discussed.
