Question

Which of the following is not involved in urethritis

• A. Trichomonas
• B. H.ducreyi
• C. Chlamydia
• D. Gonococcus

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Urethritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the urethra, often caused by infectious agents. Common causes include sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

• Trichomonas: A parasitic infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, known to cause symptoms associated with urethritis.
• H.ducreyi: This bacterium is the causative agent of chancroid, an STI characterized by painful ulcers, but it does not typically cause urethritis.
• Chlamydia: Chlamydia trachomatis is a common bacterial cause of urethritis, often leading to the need for medical evaluation and treatment.
• Gonococcus: Caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, this infection is a well-known cause of urethritis.

Among the options, H.ducreyi is not directly involved in causing urethritis, as it is more associated with chancroid.
