The statistics relating to the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases in many developing countries are not available and where there are, they are unreliable. Nevertheless, the impression of many physicians is that they constitute serious public health problems as they are endemic in some developing countries. The facilities for diagnosis and treatment of the diseases have been briefly discussed. The merits and the demerits of various antimicrobial agents have been outlined with the causes of failure of treatment in the developing countries. The economic importance of the "traitment minute" in the tropical environment has been stressed because of its economic advantage in terms of time spent in overcrowded hospitals. The resultant effect of the widescale misuse of antibiotics in developing countries has been suggested as a cause of the increasing resistant strains encountered. A plea is made for stricter control of the antimicrobial agents in developing countries.
许多发展中国家没有关于性传播疾病发病率的统计数据，即便有，也不可靠。然而，许多医生的印象是，这些疾病在一些发展中国家呈地方性流行，构成了严重的公共卫生问题。文中简要讨论了这些疾病的诊断和治疗设施。概述了各种抗菌药物的优缺点以及发展中国家治疗失败的原因。强调了在热带环境中“治疗分钟”的经济重要性，因为就花在人满为患的医院里的时间而言，它具有经济优势。有人认为，发展中国家抗生素的广泛滥用是导致耐药菌株不断增加的一个原因。呼吁在发展中国家更严格地控制抗菌药物。
