In the United States, gonorrhea is an important cause of urethritis in men and cervicitis in women; reproductive complications include infertility and ectopic pregnancy. During 1981-1993, the annual incidence rate of gonorrhea in Minnesota declined; the average annual change in the rate of infection was -8.5% (Figure 1). However, in 1994, the incidence rate increased 32% (from 56 cases per 100,000 persons in 1993 to 74 cases per 100,000 in 1994). No corresponding increases occurred in rates of other reportable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including chlamydial infection and early syphilis. To elucidate possible explanations for the increased rate of gonorrhea in Minnesota in 1994, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) analyzed surveillance data for 1994 and compared it with data for 1993. This report presents the findings of the analysis.
在美国，淋病是男性尿道炎和女性宫颈炎的重要病因；生殖系统并发症包括不孕和异位妊娠。1981年至1993年期间，明尼苏达州淋病的年发病率有所下降；感染率的年均变化为-8.5%（图1）。然而，1994年发病率上升了32%（从1993年的每10万人56例增至1994年的每10万人74例）。其他应报告的性传播疾病（STD）的发病率，包括衣原体感染和早期梅毒，并未相应增加。为了阐明1994年明尼苏达州淋病发病率上升的可能原因，明尼苏达州卫生部（MDH）分析了1994年的监测数据，并将其与1993年的数据进行了比较。本报告介绍了分析结果。
