The isolation of N. gonorrhoeae from the pharynx of four patients and N. meningitidis from the genital tract of six patients is described. Sexual transmission seemed the most likely means of acquiring these organisms. Three out of four patients harbouring gonococci in the pharynx were asymptomatic, while four of six patients with genital meningococci were symptom-free. The isolation of meningococci from the genital tract coincided with an unusually high incidence of meningococcal disease in the community.
本文描述了从4例患者咽部分离出淋病奈瑟菌以及从6例患者生殖道分离出脑膜炎奈瑟菌的情况。性传播似乎是感染这些病原体最可能的途径。4例咽部携带淋球菌的患者中有3例无症状，而6例生殖道携带脑膜炎球菌的患者中有4例无症状。从生殖道分离出脑膜炎球菌与社区中脑膜炎球菌病的异常高发病率相吻合。
