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

چکیده
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 some cases of N.G.U. and Reiter's disease (Harkness, 1950; Durel, RoironRatner, and Borel, 1951; Siboulet, 1952; Thygeson, 1954; Brisou, 1954; Masbernard, 1959; and several others). Viruses may produce inclusion bodies without gross degeneration in the cell monolayer, as

Arthritis associated with venereal disease. A comparative study of gonococcal arthritis and Reiter's syndrome.
Although the existence of gonococcal arthritis has been recognized for many years, the clearer delineation of Reiter's syndrome has cast doubt upon the value of many former descriptions of the disease. It is evident that cases of Reiter's syndrome, sometimes with co-existing gonococcal urethritis, have been included in series from which deductions concerning the clinical picture of gonococcal a...

متن کاملComparative study of gonococcal arthritis and Reiter's syndrome.
Differentiation between Reiter's syndrome (RS) and gonococcal arthritis may be difficult, since both conditions are characterised by arthritis and urethritis. Holmes and coworkers156 noted that 13 out of 23 patients who later developed RS were initially thought to have gonococcal arthritis, and both diseases are by no means virtually exclusive. Patients with culture-positive gonococcal urethrit...
متن کاملA Note on the Results of Cultural and Serological Tests for Pleuropneumonia-like Organisms
The isolation of pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO) from the urethral secretions of patients with non-gonococcal urethritis has been reported by many workers and has led to the suggestion that they may be a possible cause of this condition, although they have also been found in the genital tract of apparently healthy males. Other organisms of the pleuropneumonia group are known to be associa...
