Three cases of pharyngeal gonorrhoea were misdiagnosed in patients harbouring meningococci which failed to utilise maltose in CTA medium. The microbiological identity of the isolates was established by other means. Although meningococci giving atypical reactions to carbohydrate utilisation tests occur only rarely, the possibility of a misdiagnosis of gonorrhea, and its social and legal repercussions, should be considered.
三例咽淋病患者被误诊,其携带的脑膜炎球菌在CTA培养基中不能利用麦芽糖。分离株的微生物鉴定通过其他方法确定。虽然对碳水化合物利用试验呈现非典型反应的脑膜炎球菌很少见,但应考虑淋病误诊的可能性及其社会和法律影响。
