Invasive subtype C in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men: a systematic review.

Introduction: Outbreaks of invasive subtype C in networks of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) have been reported. We aimed to explore any factors seen in MSM with invasive subtype C.

Method: We searched three bibliographical databases for manuscripts written in English exploring at least one factor seen in MSM with invasive subtype C published up to May 2024.

Factors and presenting symptoms associated with intestinal spirochaetosis in men who have sex with men: A systematic review.

The transmission dynamics and presenting symptoms of intestinal spirochaetosis (Brachyspira pilosicoli, Brachyspira aalborgi) are poorly understood but is seen more frequently in men who have sex with men (MSM) where sexual transmission may occur. We aimed to systemically review the literature to define the factors and presenting symptoms associated with intestinal spirochaetosis in MSM. We systematically searched three bibliographical databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus) for manuscripts written in English up to November 2022.
