The prevalence of sexually transmitted disease (STD) in adolescent girls aged 15-19 attending a department of genitourinary medicine was compared for the years 1972 and 1982. Data were obtained from the confidential register using the coding of the clinic returns to the Department of Health (form SBH 60). There were 1373 patients in 1972 and 1799 in 1982, 6.4% and 7% respectively of the total female clinic population. The prevalence of syphilis, gonorrhoea, and infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, herpes simplex virus, and warts was almost unchanged. Other conditions, which are not classified as STD, were largely responsible for the increase in new attendances, the prevalence of these conditions having nearly doubled over the ten year period. Thus an epidemic of STD has not been shown in this adolescent female population over the past decade.
对1972年和1982年就诊于泌尿生殖医学科的15至19岁少女的性传播疾病（STD）患病率进行了比较。数据来自保密登记册，使用的是诊所上报给卫生部的编码（表格SBH 60）。1972年有1373名患者，1982年有1799名患者，分别占女性诊所总人数的6.4%和7%。梅毒、淋病、阴道毛滴虫感染、单纯疱疹病毒感染和疣的患病率几乎没有变化。其他未归类为性传播疾病的病症在很大程度上导致了新就诊人数的增加，这些病症的患病率在十年间几乎翻了一番。因此，在过去十年中，这一年轻女性群体中并未出现性传播疾病的流行。
