Sumario:Urethritis may be acute or subacute and can be classified as gonococcal or nongonococcal. Nongonococcal urethritis is mainly dominated by Chlamydia trachomatis. Other bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae have been implicated in some cases. We report the case of a 56-year-old diabetic man with H. influenzae urethritis following unprotected oral sex. The patient initially received treatment with ciprofloxacin, but this proved to be ineffective. Once our diagnosis was made, we switched the patient to cefixime for a period of seven days, which resulted in a successful clinical outcome.
