The number of infections with penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) strains in Singapore has risen from three in 1976 to 1792 in 1979. In the latter year they formed 19.2% of all infections with gonorrhoea, and 1280 of the strains isolated were from female prostitutes. The prevalence of PPNG infections is analysed according to the different sections of the community and racial groups. Despite energetic control measures PPNG strains are not being contained within Singapore. Thus global dissemination from such a busy port and tourist centre is a real danger.
新加坡产青霉素酶淋病奈瑟菌(PPNG)菌株感染病例数从1976年的3例增至1979年的1792例。1979年,PPNG菌株感染占所有淋病感染病例的19.2%,其中分离出的1280株菌株来自女性性工作者。本文根据社区不同阶层和种族群体分析了PPNG感染的流行情况。尽管采取了积极的控制措施,但PPNG菌株在新加坡仍未得到控制。因此,来自这样一个繁忙港口和旅游中心的全球传播是一个现实的危险。
