Fig. 2 Comparison of Mycoplasma genitalium load between men with symptomatic M. genitalium-associated proctitis and men with asymptomatic rectal M. genitalium infection. No symptoms of proctitis: median log load = 3.81 log10 load/sample (interquartile range 3.03–5.18); symptoms of proctitis: median log load = 4.82 log10 load/sample (interquartile range 4.34–5.61, p 0.023).
