During a 1-year period, 28 cases of gonococcal infections were confirmed in children whose ages were below 13 years. Of 22 gonococcal isolates from these children, 18 (81.8%) were beta-lactamase positive. It is remarkable that sexual exposure was established as the mode of transmission of gonorrhea in nine cases. Health education, sex education in schools, and satisfactory microbiology investigations are essential to effective contact tracing and control of gonorrhea.
在1年期间，确诊了28例13岁以下儿童的淋病感染病例。从这些儿童身上分离出的22株淋病奈瑟菌中，18株（81.8%）β-内酰胺酶呈阳性。值得注意的是，有9例病例确定性接触为淋病的传播方式。健康教育、学校性教育以及完善的微生物学调查对于有效的接触者追踪和淋病控制至关重要。
