Curriculum Outline: Clinical STD Training Courses: URETHRITIS DEFINITION Urethral inflammation most often manifested by urethral discharge, dysuria, or meatal pruritis confirmed by the laboratory finding of increased number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) on Gram-stained urethral smear or in the sediment of a first voided urine. I. Etiology Gonococcal urethritis: Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Nongonococcal urethritis: Chlamydia trachomatis Ureaplasma urealyticum Trichomonas vaginalis Herpes Simplex Virus Candida albicans Miscellaneous bacteria Mycoplasma genitalium Bacteroides urealyticum Other ( E. Coli , Haemophilus species) Unknown II. Epidemiology Urethritis affects an estimated 4 million American men each year. NGU is more common than GU in the U.S. and in much of the developed world; GU may account for up to 80% of the cases of acute urethritis in some undeveloped areas. The ratio of NGU to GU is greater among groups of higher socioeconomic status in the U.S. For example, comparisons of men with NGU versus GU show that those with NGU more often are white, with higher education, higher socioeconomic status, and fewer number of sexual partners. On college campuses, more than 85% of urethritis is nongonococcal.

More Emergency Medicine Resources Back to table of contents 7.04 Urethritis (Drip) Presentation A male complains of dysuria, a burning discomfort along the urethra, or a urethral discharge. A copious, thick, yellow- green discharge which stains underwear is characteristic of gonorrhea, whereas a thin, white, scant discharge with milder symptoms is characteristic of chlamydia. Urethritis in a female may be asymptomatic or indistinguishable from cystitis or vaginitis, or may be manifest as UTI symptoms with a low concentration of bacteria on urine culture, or tenderness localized to the anterior vaginal wall. In addition to increased vaginal discharge, women may have intermenstrual bleeding, especially postcoital spotting and cervical friability. What to do: Gram stain any urethral discharge, looking for gram- negative diplococci inside white cells, which imply gonococcal infection. Order a serologic test for established syphilis. Further antibiotic treatment is required if the RPR or VDRL is positive . Examine the urine sediment for swimming protozoa, implying infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, best treated with metronidazole (Flagyl) 250mg qid x 7d, or 2gm po once.

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, Volume 77 Number 4: Pages 452-454. April 1987. Circumcision as a Risk Factor for Urethritis in Racial Groups G REGORY L. S MITH , MD, MPH, R OBERT G REENUP AND E RNEST T AKAFUJI , MD, MPH Abstract: A retrospective population-based case-control study of sexually transmitted urethritis was conducted at a large military base over a 21-month period. During the study, 9514 patients were seen for sexually transmitted disease. The analysis was restricted to active duty males and showed that Blacks had 14.8 times the incidence rate for gonococcal urethritis (GCU) and 4.7 times the rate of nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) compared to Whites. There were slightly fewer cases of NGU than GCU. A case-control study of active duty soldiers were 1.65 times as likely to have NGU as uncircumcised subjects (95% CI): 1:37-2.00). However, circumcision was not associated with an increased incidence of GCU. ( Am J Public Health Introduction Gonococcal Urethritis (GCU) is the most commonly occurring reportable communicable disease in the US, with over a million cases reported annually.
