Recently, however, its potential to cause infections in immunocompetent individuals has been recognized. We report a unique case of a man in his 20 s who reported having sex with men. He presented with symptoms of fever and throat discomfort and was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess. While the rapid antigen test for Group A Streptococcus was positive and antibiotics were administered, a puncture fluid from the peritonsillar abscess taken the day after antibiotic treatment revealed the presence of Group C Streptococcus. By the fifth day, the blood culture taken on the first day detected a gram-negative spirochete, which was subsequently identified H. cinaedi. The patient had engaged in oral sex with his male partner, suggesting a potential transmission route. This is significant as H. cinaedi was initially identified from rectal cultures in men who have sex with men (MSM), raising the possibility of pharyngeal transmission through oral sex. In our patient, although H. cinaedi was not isolated from the aspirate of the peritonsillar abscess, its presence in the blood culture and lack of other potential sources of bacteremia make the abscess a likely primary site of infection. This case highlights the importance of considering H. cinaedi as a potential pathogen in immunocompetent patients, particularly in cases of MSM. The potential for H. cinaedi transmission through oral sex and its role in the development of peritonsillar abscesses, a previously unreported association, requires further investigation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47045,"journal":{"name":"IDCases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214250924000519/pdfft?md5=ce98e108a58df550be5bf17587a78983&pid=1-s2.0-S2214250924000519-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140759788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
