Article Synopsis
- Human intestinal spirochetosis (HIS) is linked to chronic diarrhea primarily in men who have sex with men (MSM) and individuals living with HIV, diagnosed through colon biopsies with specific staining techniques.
- A study examining HIS cases at STI centers in Barcelona from 2009-2018 revealed six MSM patients, mostly HIV-positive, with high-risk sexual behaviors like condomless anal intercourse.
- Diarrhea was the main symptom, and all patients were successfully treated, highlighting the need to consider HIS in patients with chronic diarrhea related to risky sexual practices and STIs.
