In a progressive surveillance programme designed to detect gonococcal infection in females, 113,063 women were screened for gonorrhoea in Memphis-Shelby County, Tennessee, during a 2-year period. The importance of including the urban community hospital in the surveillance programme is emphasized by the contribution of the City of Memphis Hospital where 53-3 per cent. of all positive cases of gonorrhoea were detected in only 34-2 per cent. of all tests done. The City of Memphis Hospital emergency room was an especially productive surveillance area, giving 29-0 per cent. of all positives with only 6-1 per cent. of all tests performed. The importance of taking routine cultures for gonococci from women presenting for prenatal care, delivery, or for genitourinary complaints in an urban hospital is stressed.
在一项旨在检测女性淋病感染情况的渐进式监测计划中，田纳西州孟菲斯-谢尔比县在两年时间里对113,063名女性进行了淋病筛查。孟菲斯市医院的贡献凸显了将城市社区医院纳入监测计划的重要性，在该医院进行的所有检测中，仅占34.2%的检测却发现了53.3%的淋病阳性病例。孟菲斯市医院急诊室是一个特别高效的监测区域，仅占所有检测的6.1%，却发现了29.0%的阳性病例。强调了在城市医院对前来进行产前检查、分娩或有泌尿生殖系统不适的女性常规采集淋病奈瑟菌培养样本的重要性。
