Abstract

Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is the commonest genital tract syndrome in men and is nearly universally presumptively treated with an antibiotic. Common causes of NGU include Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium , but in more than 50% of cases, an infectious cause is not identified.
