Urethral gonorrhoea was diagnosed by culture in 957 (18.8%) of 5076 new male patients attending a sexually transmitted diseases clinic; the infection was asymptomatic in 38 (4%) of these patients. The diagnosis in only six (0.3%) out of 2159 men with urethral gonorrhoea but with no symptoms or signs of urethritis would have been missed if urethral cultures had not been performed.
在一家性传播疾病诊所就诊的5076名新男性患者中,有957例(18.8%)经培养确诊为尿道淋病;其中38例(4%)患者感染无症状。在2159名患有尿道淋病但无尿道炎症状或体征的男性中,如果未进行尿道培养,仅6例(0.3%)的诊断将会漏诊。
