我们报告四例直肠螺旋体病，其中一例为活跃的男性同性恋者。其中一名异性恋患者在直肠活检标本的组织病理学检查中发现螺旋体后，由普通外科医生转诊至泌尿生殖道诊所。我们怀疑我们的大多数病例代表了螺旋体病的性传播，或者这种情况在大多数人中会导致疾病。直肠螺旋体病可能只有在肠道的正常菌群因其他原因受到干扰时才会发生。我们的大多数患者在非特异性治疗后变得没有症状，尽管甲硝唑似乎是特异性的。
We report four cases of rectal spirochaetosis, one in an active male homosexual. One of the heterosexual patients was referred to the genitourinary clinic by a general surgeon after spirochaetes had been found on histopathological examination of a rectal biopsy specimen. We doubt that most of our cases represent sexual transmission of spirochaetosis, or that the condition causes disease in most people. Rectal spirochaetosis possibly occurs only when the normal flora of the gut are disturbed for other reasons. Most of our patients became asymptomatic after nonspecific treatment, although metronidazole appears to be specific.
