Estimate of male urethritis incidences in France between 2007 and 2017 with a specific focus on Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Trichomonas vaginalis infections
BMC Infectious Diseases Jul 04, 2019
Rossignol L, et al. - The incidence trends of male urethritis in France between 2007 and 2017 are described. The study period had 1,944 cases of male urethritis reported to general practitioners. Since 2007, men aged 15 years and older continuously showed stable annual incidence rates (between 226 cases per 100,000 seen in 2007 and 196 in 2017) in contrast with the increasing trend of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis infections, based on microbiological surveillance. Prescription of a third-generation cephalosporin with macrolide or tetracycline was made in 17.5% of cases in 2009 (27/154) and 32.4% in 2017 (47/145). Findings suggest the need for using the stable clinical definition for male urethritis to follow correctly epidemiological dynamic.
