In a retrospective study of 2581 microbiologically confirmed female cases of gonorrhoea seen in STD clinics in England and Wales 96% of infections were detected by the first set of Gram-stained smears and cultures. A comparison of the outcome of the two tests between clinics according to their size and location showed considerable variation. The reasons for these disparities are analysed and physicians advised to re-examine their present methods in the light of these findings and newer techniques.
在一项对英格兰和威尔士性病诊所中2581例经微生物学确诊的女性淋病病例的回顾性研究中,96%的感染是通过第一组革兰氏染色涂片和培养检测出来的。根据诊所的规模和位置对两种检测结果进行比较,发现存在很大差异。分析了这些差异的原因,并建议医生根据这些发现和新技术重新审视他们目前的方法。
