Gonococcal infections are usually localized to the urogenital tract, but may sometimes spread extragenitally and cause cutaneous manifestations, arthritis, tenosynovitis, meningitis, endocarditis, or perihepatitis (Stajano, 1920; Bruusgaard and Thjotta, 1925; Curtis, 1930; Fitz-Hugh, 1934; Williams, 1938; Abu-Nassar, Hill, Fred, and Yow, 1963; Keiser, Ruben, Wolinsky, and Kushner, 1968; Amman, ...
In a three-year prospective clinical study, 42 children aged between 1 and 12 years were found to have gonococcal vulvovaginitis. Epidemiological investigations showed that contaminated fomites--particularly bedclothing, underclothing, and towels--and precocious sexual intercourse were the important vehicles of transmission of gonococci to the genital tract of these children.
Two infants are described in whom identical strains of meningococcus were isolated from both the eyes and the cerebrospinal fluid. This suggests that the eye may be a portal of entry in at least some cases of perinatally acquired neonatal meningococcal disease and has important implications for the management of purulent conjunctivitis in the newborn.
Ocular myasis and associated mucopurulent conjunctivitis in human eyes is a rare phenomenon. However, if the sheep bot fly abounds and poor hygienic environment prevails, the Oestrous ovis deposits its larvae in the conjunctival eye sac of human. The present paper reports a case study of ocular myasis among sheep farm workers caused by Oestrous ovis. The ocular myasis and the associated mucopur...
Blinding and non-blinding trachoma A year ago we introduced the concept that, from the public health point of view, trachoma should be divided into blinding trachoma and non-blinding trachoma (Jones, I975). This concept has found a ready acceptance (Dawson, Jones, and Darougar, 1975) and has been of value in focusing attention on the urgent need for surveys in many countries to determine the pr...
Chlamydia trachomatis is an important cause of postpartum endometritis and neonatal conjunctivitis. However, the prevalence of chlamydial genital infection varies considerably from one population group to another. A study was thus conducted to determine the incidence of C trachomatis infection of the cervix in an unselected group of women attending a Belfast antenatal clinic. One hundred and si...
OBJECTIVES Gonorrhea cases among men who have sex with men (MSM) declined in the early years of the HIV epidemic. We evaluated more recent trends in gonorrhea among MSM through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project. METHODS Isolates and case information were collected from 29 US sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. Gonococcal urethriti...
Eighty-one men with exudative urethritis were evaluated on initial visit for gonococcal urethritis by using the standard tube and newly developed microdilution Limulus amoebocyte lysate techniques. Serial dilutions of clinical specimens ranging from 1:100 to 1:102,400 were each tested, and results correlated with Gram stain and culture. Overall accuracy for predicting culture results was 98% fo...
We have purified pili from isogenic opacity colony variants that were derived from 14 gonococcal strains. Pili purified from opaque colonies of one strain usually differed from pili purified from transparent colonies of the same strain. In 10 of the 14 strains examined, the apparent subunit molecular weight of pilin isolated from the opaque variants was larger than that seen with pilin obtained...
The Australian Gonococcal Surveillance Programme (AGSP) monitors the antibiotic susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in all states and territories. In 2006 the in vitro susceptibility of 3,850 isolates of gonococci from public and private sector sources was determined by standardised methods. Different antibiotic susceptibility patterns were again seen in the various jurisdictions a...
