Abstract

Two men had a first clinical episode of genital herpes presenting as nongonococcal urethritis in the absence of any penile lesions. Data on the etiologic function of herpes simplex in patients with nongonococcal urethritis are scarce and conflicting. Considering our cases, the large amount of nongonococcal urethritis of unknown origin, and the high frequency of unrecognized genital herpes, herpes simplex virus may be a significant etiologic agent of nongonococcal urethritis and warrants necessary laboratory investigations in patients with clear mucoid urethral discharge.
