In this paper an evaluation is made of the endeavours to improve diagnosis in women named as contacts of gonorrhoea. The problem was approached in three ways. (a) The number of sites sampled was increased. (b) The results of microscopical examination of smears made by clinical staff were regularly evaluated. (c) Cultural examinations by the supporting laboratory were dealt with more efficiently and speedily. It is concluded that the number of tests currently used to establish or exclude a diagnosis of gonorrhoea in women can safely be reduced to two, and that the methods currently in use allow a more cost-effective management of an increasing case load.
本文对提高淋病接触者女性诊断水平的努力进行了评估。该问题通过三种方式解决。（a）增加采样部位数量。（b）定期评估临床工作人员制作的涂片显微镜检查结果。（c）更高效、快速地处理辅助实验室的培养检查。得出的结论是，目前用于确定或排除女性淋病诊断的检测数量可安全地减少至两项，并且目前使用的方法能够以更具成本效益的方式管理不断增加的病例数量。
