Abstract

The authors examined 38 non-pregnant women with gonococcal urethritis. Thirty-three (86.8%) of them suffered also from endocervical gonorrhea.

Neisseria gonorrheae (N. go) was isolated from the midstream of urine in a quantity of 1×102 to 9×108 in 1 ml of urine with an average of 5.08×104 N. go per 1 ml of urine and S. E. M.±3.85×104 N. go per 1 ml of urine.

On the basis of suprapubic puncture ascendent propagation of bacteria to the bladder was observed by cultivation in 13 (34.2%) patients, with isolation of N. go in 5 cases.
