چکیده

Specimens of urethal discharge and scrapings of the urethra from 45 men with non-gonococcal urethritis have been studied for virus content. Human amnion and monkey kidney cell cultures were inoculated. Various temperatures of incubation were used. Specimens were also inoculated into the yolk sac of seven-day fertile eggs. No cytopathic changes were detected in any specimen examined after direct incubation or after passage. No elementary bodies were seen in stained sections of yolk sacs. Haemagglutination and haemadsorption tests were negative. Paired sera from 21 cases were available for antibody titre study. Estimations of urethral temperature and pH were made. The cause of non-gonococcal urethritis remains to be discovered.

Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis DNA in patients with non-gonococcal urethritis using the polymerase chain reaction.

A practical protocol using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was designed for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis in clinical samples. DNA was extracted from material collected on urethral swabs and used as substrate for the PCR. The target was a 600 basepair DNA segment of the multicopy plasmid that is common to all strains of the bacterium. Negative samples were checked for loss of DNA or prese...

Bacampicillin to treat non-gonococcal urethritis in men: pilot study.

Of 84 men with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), 24 yielded Chlamydia trachomatis by either cell culture or MicroTrak immunofluorescence test. All 84 were treated with bacampicillin 800 mg twice a day for seven days. Five (one chlamydia positive) defaulted from follow up 10 to 14 days after the start of treatment. Of the 23 chlamydia positive patients who attended follow up, 22 became chlamydia ...

A study of the aetiology of non-gonococcal urethritis and Reiter's disease.

Ford (1956, 1958) inoculated cultures of Hela, human amnion, and conjunctival cells with material from patients with non gonococcal urethritis (N.G.U.) and examined the cells for cytopathogenicity. He found some cellular degeneration but attributed this to the presence of pleuropneumonialike organisms (PPLO) rather than virus. Inclusion bodies have been demonstrated in urethral scrapings from s...
