Abstract EN
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.
