Women are at a higher risk of being sexually harassed. There is a need to document the clinical findings of this crime and its outcome in order to improve the quality of care the victims receive.
Case notes of patients who presented with alleged rape at Jos University Teaching Hospital between January 2001 and December 2003 were retrieved and analyzed.
During the study period, 2,135 patients were seen in the Gynaecological Emergency Unit. A total of 120 were for alleged rape, representing 5.6% of the total cases seen. However, only 105 case notes were available for analysis. Of these, 63.8% of the alleged rapes were in children, with the infantile age group accounting for 26.7%. 36.2% of the victims had experienced some form of sexual exposure prior to the rape. A previous relationship with the rapist was established in 77.4% of the cases. Most cases delayed in presenting to hospital. Thirty six percent of the cases did not have a human immunodeficiency virus screening test done. Candida albicans (13.3%) accounted for most of the infectious agents. Emergency contraception was administered to the victims when indicated.
Women under 16 years of age were at an increased risk of being raped, possibly because they are defenseless and vulnerable. Three quarters (3/4) of the assailants had some form of relationship with the victims, which may account for the delays in reporting. Children and young adolescents were more at risk than adults to be raped.
女性遭受性骚扰的风险更高。有必要记录这一犯罪行为的临床发现及其后果，以提高受害者所接受护理的质量。
检索并分析了2001年1月至2003年12月期间在乔斯大学教学医院因涉嫌强奸就诊患者的病历。
在研究期间，妇科急诊室共接待了2135名患者。其中因涉嫌强奸就诊的有120例，占总就诊病例的5.6%。然而，仅有105份病历可供分析。其中，63.8%的涉嫌强奸受害者为儿童，婴儿年龄组占26.7%。36.2%的受害者在强奸发生前曾经历过某种形式的性暴露。77.4%的案件中受害者与强奸者此前有关系。大多数病例延迟就医。36%的病例未进行人类免疫缺陷病毒筛查检测。白色念珠菌（13.3%）是主要的感染病原体。在有指征时对受害者进行了紧急避孕。
16岁以下女性遭受强奸的风险增加，可能是因为她们毫无防备且易受伤害。四分之三（3/4）的袭击者与受害者有某种形式的关系，这可能是报告延迟的原因。儿童和青少年比成年人更容易遭受强奸。
