Four hundred three men with signs and symptoms of urethritis were examined by stained slide and culture of urethral exudate. Of these slides, 14.1% were interpreted as "borderline" for gonorrhea, ie, showing typical Gram-negative diplococci on microscopic examination located extracellularly only. Of these, only 10.5% were culture positive for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Patients with urethritis whose slides are "borderline" should be treated as for nongonococcal urethritis with tetracycline hydrochloride and not with aqueous penicillin G procaine.
对403名有尿道炎症状和体征的男性进行了尿道分泌物涂片染色及培养检查。在这些涂片中，14.1%被判定为淋病“临界”，即显微镜检查仅在细胞外发现典型革兰氏阴性双球菌。其中，仅10.5%的淋病奈瑟菌培养呈阳性。尿道分泌物涂片为“临界”的尿道炎患者应使用盐酸四环素治疗非淋菌性尿道炎，而不应使用普鲁卡因青霉素水剂治疗。
