Male genital herpes complicated with urethral infection.
A 26-year-old man had a primary infection or reinfection of genital herpes due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 complicated with herpetic urethritis. By analysis of the restriction endonuclease digestion pattern of the viral DNA, two isolates, one from the penile lesion and one from the urethra, were identified as the same strain.
