The case notes of 426 women who had been treated for uncomplicated gonorrhoea in 1978-83 inclusive, were studied. The findings for 1978 formed a retrospective basis for a prospective study. The aim was to appraise the value of earlier and fewer follow up tests of cure. The new routine was associated with a more assertive approach to other modalities of control. It was concluded that the interests of individual patients, as well as those aimed at control, were adequately served by one set of smear and culture specimens. There was one proviso. Potential "repeaters" need to be identified and treated individually in terms of follow up testing.
对1978年至1983年（含）期间接受单纯性淋病治疗的426名女性的病历进行了研究。1978年的研究结果为一项前瞻性研究提供了回顾性基础。目的是评估早期进行较少的治愈后随访检测的价值。新的常规做法与对其他控制方式采取更坚定的方法相关联。得出的结论是，一组涂片和培养标本足以满足个体患者以及控制方面的需求。但有一个条件。需要识别潜在的“复发病例”，并在随访检测方面对其进行个体化治疗。
