A survey of sexually transmitted diseases was attempted in Swaziland. Time and the terms of reference limited its scope, but much interesting information was gathered. Neither the prevalence nor the relative frequency of the different diseases in the community could be ascertained, but there was evidence to support the local impression that the sexually transmitted diseases present an increasing problem in Swaziland. An important problem was that of case finding and two aspects of this are stressed: (1) A general lack of knowledge concerning the venereal diseases; (2) The large number of men infected by 'casual' girl friends who cannot easily be traced, and who form a reservoir of infection in the community.
在斯威士兰开展了一项关于性传播疾病的调查。时间和调查范围限制了其规模,但收集到了许多有趣的信息。虽然无法确定社区中不同疾病的患病率和相对发病率,但有证据支持当地的一种看法,即性传播疾病在斯威士兰正成为一个日益严重的问题。一个重要问题是病例发现问题,对此强调了两个方面:(1)对性病普遍缺乏了解;(2)大量男性被“临时”女友感染,而这些女友很难被追踪到,她们在社区中构成了感染源。
