Pruritus der artefiziellen Vagina einer Transsexuellen durch Gonokokkeninfektion
Abstract
Report on a 31-year-old male-to-female transsexual prostitute with a 3-week history of worsening pruritus and dysaesthesia in her neovagina, which had been constructed by means of penile skin invagination. The microbial diagnostic tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STD) showed gonococcal infection in the high vagina, while none was found in the urethra. Other STD and allergic contact sensitization were excluded. Despite the regularly stratified epithelium of the neovagina, which is physiologically resistant to gonococcal infection, this possibility must be considered in transsexual prostitutes.

“Neovaginal STIs have infrequently been reported in the literature and include HSV and HPV/genital warts in penile-inversion vaginoplasty, C. trachomatis in procedures that involved penile skin and grafts with urethra mucosa or abdominal peritoneal lining (353), and N. gonorrhoeae in both penile-inversion and colovaginoplasty (354–359).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
