Abstract
We report the cases of two men referred to a genitourinary medicine cl inic with sterile pyuria and subsequently found to have their urethras infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydial infection should be c onsidered in the differential diagnosis of sterile pyuria, particularl y in young, sexually active males. We discuss the consequences of inad equate treatment of the index case.
