Among 865 US adults with early syphilis, more than 1 in 4 had bacterial STI coinfection. This study supports routine mucosal screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea in people with syphilis. Abstract Among 865 adults with early syphilis considered for a multicenter treatment trial, 234 (27%) were excluded before enrollment because of bacterial sexually transmitted infection coinfection. Coinfection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (29%), Chlamydia trachomatis (22%), or both (23%) was common. Study findings highlight the need for comprehensive bacterial sexually transmitted infection screening in patients with syphilis.
