“…Asymptomatic FSWs may act as a reservoir of CT infection, and in our paper, the patient's act of orogenital and uororectal sexual intercourse with a FSW provided the required load of CT to oropharynx. The presence of CT in tonsillar crypts was also investigated in order to determine the relationship of CT to a tonsillar infection, and in approximately a quarter of the cases, CT was recovered from tonsillar crypts [ 5 ].…”

Reports about the extragenital spread of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) to oropharynx are limited. We report a male patient with progressive tonsillopharyngitis resistant to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid therapy. The patient presented 9 days after an orogenital and oroanal sexual intercourse with a female sex worker. The microimmunofluorescence revealed CT tonsillopharyngitis, and after completing a one-week course of doxycycline, the patient recovered completely. More cases of CT tonsillopharyngitis may be revealed if attention is paid to an association of sexual activity with enduring tonsillopharyngitis.

Introduction Oral sex is usually considered a lower-risk sexual activity when compared with sex, but it is frequently the cause of sexually transmitted infections (STI). In particular, STI transferred through oral sex might have no visible symptoms, depending on the type of infection. Aims The aim of this study is to review the literature about the role of oral sex in the transmission of nonviral STI. Main Outcome Measures State-of-the-art information in the area of STI in relation to sexual function and self–care, this last important for development of STI prevention products such as vaginal microbicides. Sexual behaviors assessed focusing on receiving oral sex and giving oral sex. Methods A search of the main electronic databases including registers of clinical controlled trials was performed in addition to a hand search of the most relevant Journals. The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, literature review of research articles, and public health department Internet Web sites, for the period of 1945–2011. In addition to searching the Clinical Trials Registry at the US National Institutes of Health, we also used the meta Register of Controlled Trials and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Results STI affect the mucous membranes both directly and indirectly producing characteristic diagnostic signs and lesions. Daily dental clinical activity needs an appropriate knowledge of any kind of oral lesions-related STI. The reader is offered a practical approach with clinically relevant recommendations that may prove useful in his/her daily practice when dealing with STI. Conclusions These data provide a foundation for understanding diverse STI. We advise physicians to be receptive to discuss sexuality issues and provide patients with adequate therapy.

“…Ocular or ophthalmic infections may result from exposure to infectious genital secretions during oral-genital sexual contact, or by autoinoculation. Although chlamydia can be detected in the pharynx after inoculation from oral-genital exposure (103-111 ), chlamydia has not been established as a cause of pharyngitis (103,104,(110)(111)(112)(113)(114).…”
