Prevalence, incidence and risk factors for pharyngeal gonorrhoea in a community-based HIV-negative cohort of homosexual men in Sydney, Australia
Sexually Transmitted Infections, 11/04/09

Templeton DJ et al. – The majority of pharyngeal gonorrhoea occurred without evidence of concurrent anogenital infection and the high incidence–to–prevalence ratio suggests frequent spontaneous resolution of NAAT–detected infection. The association of pharyngeal gonorrhoea with oro–anal sex indicates a broader range of sexual practices are likely to be involved in transmission of gonorrhoea to the pharynx than previously acknowledged. Screening the pharynx of sexually active homosexual men could play a role in reducing the prevalence of anogenital Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
