Residual non-gonococcal urethritis: P.A.M. and sulphathiazole in the treatment of gonorrhea.

چکیده
The spectacular success of penicillin in the treatment of acute gonococcal urethritis, the disappearance of dysuria in a matter of hours, the cessation of a profuse discharge in less than a day, the elimination of gonococci overnight, and the virtual absence of gonococcal relapse when a depot preparation is given in adequate dosage, has focused attention on one of the remaining problems in the management of gonorrhoea-the prevention and treatment of residual non-gonococcal or postgonorrhoeal urethritis. The symptoms and signs of a residual urethritis are the persistence of urethral discharge, particularly prior to the first morning micturition, and the presence of urinary shreds containing pus or even a frankly hazy urine, and of course the absence of gonococci-the familiar chronic gonorrhoea or gleet of the older textbooks. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the effect on the incidence of residual urethritis of the administration of sulphonamides by mouth in addition to penicillin.

A comprehensive treatment for gonococcal and non-gonococcal urethritis.
Urethritis, either gonococcal or non-specific, is the commonest form of venereal disease. Lees (1951) suggested that of all cases of urethritis probably 50 per cent. are gonococcal, and Harkness (1950) stated that at least 70 per cent. of all his venereal disease patients suffered from non-gonococcal urethritis. Microscopic examination ofsmears of the urethral discharge is standard practice in ...
