- Abstract
Abstract: Among 865 adults with early syphilis considered for a multicenter treatment trial, 234 (27%) were excluded before enrollment because of bacterial sexually transmitted infection coinfection. Coinfection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (29%), Chlamydia trachomatis (22%), or both (23%) was common. Study findings highlight the need for comprehensive bacterial sexually transmitted infection screening in patients with syphilis., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest and Sources of Funding: The authors declare no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association.
