MONTERROSA-CASTRO, Álvaro; ROSALES-BECERRA, Angie y MONTERROSA-BLANCO, Angélica. Streptococcus agalactiae and genital ulcers in a heterosexual male. Iberoam J Med [online]. 2021, vol.3, n.3, pp.271-275. Epub 25-Dic-2023. ISSN 2695-5075. https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4721400.
Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) is a microorganism that asymptomatically colonizes the female genital and gastrointestinal tracts of humans. It produces infections in extreme ages of life and in pregnant women. The case of an adult male is presented, with frequent heterosexual intercourse with different partners. He consulted for itching and burning in the penis' glans. His partner had marked vaginal dryness as a result of early ovarian failure. The patient had ulcerative, non-painful, erythematous lesions with raised edges and little yellow-green discharge. No Donovan bodies were found in the discharge smear and the culture was positive for S. agalactiae. His asymptomatic partner had negative microbiological tests. Both with negative serologies for Chlamydia, HIV and syphilis. No information was obtained from other sexual contacts. It cannot be ascertained that it was a venereal event, it is more likely that the injuries are related to repeated coital trauma.
