In a prospective study of 210 patients attending a hospital-based sexually transmitted disease clinic, we documented the prevalence of genital herpes infection (GHI) and its association with gonococcal infection (GI). Herpes simplex virus type 2 was cultured from 58% of symptomatic patients and 0.5% of asymptomatic patients.The ratio of GI to GHI was 41:31 by clinical criteria. The laboratory-confirmed ratio was 41:18. These ratios are much higher than those normally used to estimate the caseload of GHI.
在一项针对 210 名前往医院性病诊所就诊的患者的前瞻性研究中,我们记录了生殖器疱疹感染 (GHI) 的流行情况及其与淋病感染 (GI) 的关系。单纯疱疹病毒 2 型从 58%的有症状患者和 0.5%的无症状患者中培养出来。根据临床标准,GI 与 GHI 的比例为 41:31。实验室确诊的比例为 41:18。这些比例远高于通常用于估计 GHI 病例数的比例。
