1,001 consecutive women seen in a V.D. clinic were screened for gonorrhoea by cultures of urinary sediment, the endocervix, and anal canal. Recovery of Neisseria gonorrhoeae on culture of urinary sediment was 81-7 per cent. as productive as culture of the endocervix, and 79-2 per cent. compared to endocervical and anal canal culturing. Urogenital symptoms were present in 55-1 per cent. of women with negative cultures and 64-6 per cent. of those with gonorrhoea. A complaint of dysuria increased the likelihood of a positive urinary sediment or endocervical culture. Culture of urinary sediment is less sensitive than culture of the endocervix. However, the ease with which specimens are obtained and the relative simplicity of the technique could make this method an acceptable tool for screening large numbers of women for gonorrhoea.
在一家性病诊所就诊的1001名连续女性接受了淋病筛查，通过对尿沉渣、宫颈管和肛管进行培养。尿沉渣培养中淋病奈瑟菌的检出率为宫颈管培养的81.7%，与宫颈管和肛管联合培养相比为79.2%。55.1%的培养阴性女性和64.6%的淋病女性有泌尿生殖系统症状。尿痛主诉增加了尿沉渣或宫颈管培养阳性的可能性。尿沉渣培养比宫颈管培养敏感性低。然而，获取标本的简便性和技术的相对简易性可能使该方法成为筛查大量女性淋病的可接受工具。
