Abstract
Streptococcus agalactiae is a gram-positive coccus bacterium that
is rarely reported to cause genital infections in males. This study
discusses 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.
