first follow up test results, 188 (84%) attended for a second follow up appointment, usually a week later. Gonorrhoea was detected in three women (2%). Reinfection was suspected in two cases, but the third was considered to be a treatment failure. Of the 185 women with satisfactory second follow up test results, 117 (63%) attended for a third follow up appointment, up to four weeks later. N gonorrhoeae was isolated from two women, but both were considered to be reinfected. With the diagnostic tests in use in our clinic, 2% of women infected with gonorrhoea require two sets of tests for diagnosis. If only one test of cure had been carried out, two early reinfections and one treatment failure would have been missed. We therefore believe that two follow up appointments are necessary after treatment.
