Introduction:

Urethritis is the most common syndrome in the context of sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Clinical case:

Patient of 26-year-old cis man, bisexual, attended a Community Clinic, complaining of one day of spontaneous and continuous loss of urethral secretion, plus dysuria and left adenomegaly. He denies fever and other symptoms.

Observation:

last sexual, oral insertive exposure, homosexual, casual and unprotected, 7 days prior to symptoms. Rapid tests for STIs, simple urine, smear and culture of urethral exudate are requested. Combined dual empirical treatment was administered and the patient progressed favorably. Positive urethral exudate culture report, isolating Haemophilus influenzae.

Discussion:

H. influenzae urethritis is rare, presumably acquired by unprotected oral practices. It is statistically significant in the MSM population (men who have sex with men). In Paraguay there is no data on etiological agents of infectious urethritis in men, hence the importance of the report.
