Abstract

Neisseria gonorrhoeae was isolated from 53 young females (6-14 years old) in a Somali orphanage. A male guardian was found to be the effective transmitter having sexually abused the children. All the bacterial isolates were of the same serogroup WI and the same serovar Aedih. This presents an unusual example of a tight geographic cluster of infected people which is often characteristic of gonorrhoea epidemics.

摘要

在一所索马里孤儿院中，从53名年轻女性（6至14岁）身上分离出了淋病奈瑟菌。发现一名男性监护人对这些儿童进行了性虐待，他是有效的传播者。所有细菌分离株均属于同一血清群WI和同一血清型Aedih。这是一个不寻常的例子，显示出受感染人群在地理上紧密聚集，这通常是淋病流行的特征。
