Abstract
Among 118 women who were sexual contacts of men with nongonococcal urethritis, the practice of fellatio correlated with symptoms of a sore throat. Oropharyngeal cultures for Chlamydia trachomatis were negative in all women, including 11 women who practiced fellatio and whose partners were known to have nongonococcal urethritis due to C. trachomatis. The study does not support a major role for C. trachomatis as a cause of sore throat in women who practice fellatio.Keywords
