Non-gonococcal Urethritis.

[Diagnosis of gonococcal urethritis and chlamydial urethritis by polymerase chain reaction].

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was compared to standard methods (cultures for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis and an enzyme-immunoassay for C. trachomatis) in diagnosis of gonococcal and chlamydial urethritis in 40 male patients with urethritis. Gonococcal urethritis was diagnosed by detection of a 206 bp DNA fragment amplified by PCR with N. gonorrhoeae-specific prime...

Isolation of diphtheroids from non-gonococcal urethritis.

Urinary abnormalities in non gonococcal urethritis.

The association between urinary abnormalities detected by the two-glass urine test and objective urethritis was investigated in a study of 221 male patients with non-gonococcal urethritis. A strong correlation existed between urinary threads and urethritis, but use of the test for diagnosis and in the assessment of cure is limited by its poor predictive value in both treated and untreated patie...
