| clinical spectrum of gonococcal infection in women. | the medical records of 278 women infected with neisseria gonorrhoeae during a 6-month period were reviewed. these represented 75% of the infections in women at boston city hospital during this time. women who presented to the venereal-disease clinic because they had had contact with an infected man and women who were found to be infected during routine examinations in the obstetrics-and-gynaecology clinic were usually free of symptoms or had non-specific symptoms such as vaginal discharge. howev ... | 1977 | 68279 |
| phenotypic and epidemiologic correlates of auxotype in neisseria gonorrhoeae. | previous studies from seattle, wash., suggested that strains of neisseria gonorrhoeae which require arginine, hypoxanthine, and uracil (arg-hyx-ura- auxotype) are unifomly highly susceptible to penicillin g, are relatively resistant to complement-dependent killing by heated, pooled human serum, and are associated with disseminated gonococcal infection. for further study of the epidemiology of these strains and for analysis of the susceptibility to penicillin, serum sensitivity, and the nutrition ... | 1978 | 98600 |

| adolescent female with urinary symptoms: a diagnostic challenge for the pediatrician. | the objective of this study was to determine the accuracy with which physicians diagnose sexually transmitted infections (stis) and urinary tract infections (utis) in adolescent females with urinary symptoms. secondary aims were to determine the prevalence of stis and utis in this subset of patients and to identify variables associated with a physician diagnosis of sti or uti. | 2011 | 21878833 |
| asymptomatic gonorrhea and chlamydial infections detected by nucleic acid amplification tests among boston area men who have sex with men. | the purpose of this project was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic sexually transmitted diseases (stds) among men who have sex with men (msm) in the boston area who had been sexually active (oral and/or anal sex) with another male within the past year. | 2008 | 18354345 |
| increases in fluoroquinolone-resistant neisseria gonorrhoeae among men who have sex with men--united states, 2003, and revised recommendations for gonorrhea treatment, 2004. | in the united states, an estimated 700,000-800,000 persons are infected with neisseria gonorrhoeae each year. since 1993, cdc has recommended use of fluoroquinolones (i.e., ciprofloxacin, floxacin, or levofloxacin) for gonorrhea treatment. fluoroquinolone therapy is used frequently because it is an inexpensive, oral, and single-dose therapy. however, because of increased prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant n. gonorrhoeae (qrng) in asia, the pacific islands (including hawaii), and california, ... | 2004 | 15123985 |
| predictive value of clinical diagnostic codes for the cdc case definition of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid): implications for surveillance. | reporting of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) from private providers could be incomplete because of time and staff constraints, lack of knowledge of reporting requirements and of case definitions. reporting burden can be alleviated with the use of administrative data. | 2003 | 14603097 |
| development of l-type growth in neisseria gonorrhoeae cultures. | dienes, louis (massachusetts general hospital, boston, mass.), bojana m. bandur, and sarabelle madoff. development of l-type growth in neisseria gonorrhoeae cultures. j. bacteriol. 87:1471-1476. 1964.-strains of neisseria gonorrhoeae (22) were studied immediately after isolation from patients. after 24 to 48 hr of incubation, the cocci in the cultures of several strains grew spontaneously into large bodies which later autolyzed. usually, a secondary growth of cocci started in the autolyzed colon ... | 1964 | 14188730 |

| transmission of chlamydia trachomatis and neisseria gonorrhoeae among men with urethritis and their female sex partners. | transmission of chlamydia trachomatis and neisseria gonorrhoeae among infected men and their female sex partners was examined using a design enhancing the likelihood that spread was directed from men to women. chlamydia culture-negative specimens were examined using dna amplification tests. infection rates in women exposed to male sex partners with chlamydia only were 65% (20/31) and with gonorrhea only were 73% (33/45). infection of women by either agent was not influenced by the number of sexu ... | 1998 | 9815223 |
| clinical spectrum of infection with neisseria gonorrhoeae. | the traditional view that infections with neisseria gonorrhoeae are predominantly symptomatic in men and predominantly asymptomatic in women has arisen from studies conducted in sexually transmitted disease clinics, which, by their nature, examine men with symptoms and women without symptoms. recent studies have shown that most men and woen who are infected with n. gonorrhoeae develop symptoms as a result of that infection. these same studies have shown that a minority of patients develop asympt ... | 1981 | 6800041 |
| pelvic inflammatory disease among women presenting to emergency rooms of hospitals in massachusetts. | we obtained reports prospectively from the emergency rooms of 24 hospitals for 1 year. nine percent of 3,505 women examined for genital infection with neisseria gonorrhoeae were infected with this organism. two thirds of the infected women had gonococcal pelvic inflammatory disease. the ratio of gonococcal pid to nongonococcal pid was 1:4.6 n. gonorrhoeae was isolated from 20% of women with pid in cities where the rate of all reported gonococcal infection was higher than the rate for the entire ... | 1980 | 6781348 |
| prevalence of pharyngeal gonorrhea in general medical patients with sore throats. | the prevalence of pharyngeal gonorrhea was investigated in a previously unstudied population: adult patients seeking care for sore throats and other symptoms of respiratory infection in general medical practices. the complaint of sore throat accounts for at least 15 million patient visits each year in the united states. a prospective study of 239 patients in three different settings revealed prevalences of 1% (95% confidence interval of 0.1-3%) in the 192 patients with sore throats, and of zero ... | 1980 | 6777884 |
