Abstract

Streptococcus agalactiae is a gram‑positive coccus bacterium that

is rarely reported to cause genital infections in males. This study
discusses the case of a young man with lesions on the genital as a
secondary infection caused by Streprococcus agalactiae. A 25‑
year‑old man came to the dermatology and venereology clinic of
Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, complaining of a wound on the penis
that had not healed in the last 3 months ago, the patient has a
history of having sex with men without using a condom and
frequently changing partners. The patient was known to be
infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and the results
of the IgG HSV‑2 (Herpes Simplex Virus‑2) serological examination
were positive. The results of microbiological examination of the
wound bed swab sample showed the growth of Streptococcus
agalactiae. Previously the patient received antiretroviral therapy,
clindamycin oral, and erythromycin cream. The wound on the
penis got better, but before the wound completely recovered, the
patient did not visit anymore. Streptococcus agalactiae secondary
infection in cases of sexually transmitted infections is a rare case.
In this case, the finding of Streptococcus agalactiae can be
considered as a pathogen. In cases of sexually transmitted
infections with sores on the genital, a microbiological examination
is recommended to determine the causative microorganism, and
an antibiotic sensitivity test to determine the therapy.
