The long-acting "sulfamoxole" has the advantage that fewer doses are required. Sulphonamides alone are not particularly successful in non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). The best results have been obtained with the tetracyclines (with and without oleandomycin), and success rates of 81 -5 to 85 4 per cent. may be obtained (Willcox, 1958). A number of authors (e.g. Lyall, 1953; Jelinek, 1957; Prebbl...

Sigmamycin is a 2 :1 combination of the antibiotics tetracycline hydrochloride and oleandomycin phosphate, and the claim has been made that this combination exhibits a synergistic action, so that the two drugs together are more potent than the sum of the individual components. To test this claim two separate trial series of patients were treated, using a small dose for a minimum time in the fir...

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...

To our knowledge, this is the first study that focuses on risk factor of urethral condyloma (UC). The subjects of our study included genital warts patients who had been diagnosed as having condyloma acuminatum of penile skin (CAPS) with/without UC. Relationship with UC of number of life time female partners, co-infection with urethritis, circumcision status, number of CAPS and wart diameter wer...

Specimens of urethal discharge and scrapings of the urethra from 45 men with non-gonococcal urethritis have been studied for virus content. Human amnion and monkey kidney cell cultures were inoculated. Various temperatures of incubation were used. Specimens were also inoculated into the yolk sac of seven-day fertile eggs. No cytopathic changes were detected in any specimen examined after direct...

for a long time after the cure of the gonorrhzea. It seems that this secondary infection, as like as not with sulphonamide resistant organisms, is well nigh inevitable, but it is debatable whether the condition will clear up properly without adequate local treatment. My own experience leads me to think that usually it will not do so, and in many of my own cases the initial week of chemotherapy ...

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 s...

Chlamydia trachomatis was sought at first and subsequent clinic visits in urethral swabs and urines from 112 heterosexual men with acute non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). In comparison with a urethral swab tested by Micro Trak (MT), a urine deposit tested in the same way was 90% as sensitive. Examining a urine deposit by the enzyme immunoassay IDEIA was a little less sensitive (89%) than examini...
