Abstract
Adenoviruses were isolated from the urethral swabs of 129 male patients. After exclusion of patients with Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections, 85 of the remaining 120 patients had urethritis, compared with 28 men with urethritis detected in a control group which was closely matched for age, sex and date of specimen collection. This statistically significant difference suggests that genital adenovirus infection may be a cause of urethritis in some male patients.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
