What is the Specimen of Choice in Males for Genital

Question

What is the specimen of choice in males for genital infections?
A) Urine
B) Throat culture
C) Purulent urethral discharge
D) Prostatic fluid

Accepted Answer

Purulent urethral discharge is the specimen of choice in males for genital infections as it contains the most concentrated amount of pathogens and can aid in the diagnosis of specific infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. Urine and prostatic fluid may also be useful in certain situations, but are not the primary specimens for genital infections in males. Throat cultures are not relevant in the diagnosis of genital infections.
