A total of 729 asymptomatic men were screened for gonococcal urethritis with four techniques: culture of urethral specimens, culture of first-catch urine sediment (FCUS), an enzyme immunoassay method (Gonozyme, Abbot Laboratories) for detection of gonococcal antigen in urethral specimens (EIA-Sb) and first-catch urine sediment (EIA-FCUS). The positivity rates of the aforementioned techniques were 0.13%, 0%, 2.33%, and 0.82%. In view of reduction of time and patients' discomfort as well as the closely comparable positivity rate (p less than 0.05) associated with the use of the EIA-FCUS technique, the latter method appears to be the simplest, most practical and reliable diagnostic tool for screening asymptomatic gonococcal urethritis.
共有729名无症状男性接受了四种检测方法筛查淋菌性尿道炎：尿道标本培养、初段尿沉渣培养（FCUS）、用于检测尿道标本中淋球菌抗原的酶免疫测定法（Gonozyme，雅培实验室）（EIA-Sb）和初段尿沉渣（EIA-FCUS）。上述检测方法的阳性率分别为0.13%、0%、2.33%和0.82%。鉴于使用EIA-FCUS技术可减少时间和患者不适，且阳性率相近（p小于0.05），后一种方法似乎是筛查无症状淋菌性尿道炎最简单、最实用且可靠的诊断工具。
