Yonsei Med J. 2001 Oct;42(5):563-5. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2001.42.5.563.

Abstract

A 41-year-old heterosexual African man was evaluated for persistent urethral discharge, pneumaturia and watery diarrhea. Radiographic and endoscopic procedures established the diagnosis of a rectourethral fistula. The differential diagnosis of an acquired rectourethral fistula and the significance of AIDS are discussed.
