characterization, in vitro susceptibility, and clinical significance of cdc group hb-5 from rwanda.	from june 1984 until july 1988, cdc group hb-5 isolates were recovered from the exudates of genital ulcers in 25 of 675 (3.6%) patients (204 women, 471 men) in kigali, rwanda. among a group of 145 men presenting with urethritis but without genital ulcers, a positive culture for hb-5 of a specimen from the coronal groove of the penis of only 1 man (0.7%) was found. during the same period, the organism was not obtained in cultures of vaginal specimens from 838 women without genital ulcer disease. ...	1990	2121781
the etiology of genital ulceration in rwanda.	the etiology of genital ulcer disease was determined in 210 consecutive patients (110 men and 100 women) who presented at a clinic in kigali, rwanda, because of genital ulcers. when mixed infections are included, syphilis (21%), chancroid (24%), and genital herpes (17%) were about equally frequent in men. lymphogranuloma venereum with ulceration was found in 11% of patients. syphilis (40%) was the most common diagnosis in women; genital herpes (20%), lymphogranuloma venereum with ulceration (19% ...	1989	2510325

increasing resistance of neisseria gonorrhoeae in west and central africa. consequence on therapy of gonococcal infection.	antimicrobial resistant strains of neisseria gonorrhoeae have spread with remarkable rapidity in many african countries. chromosomal resistance to penicillin, tetracycline, and thiamphenicol is frequent now, and reported prevalences of penicillinase-producing n. gonorrhoeae isolates vary between 15% and 80%. plasmid-mediated tetracycline-resistant n. gonorrhoeae isolates have been observed in several african countries.	1997	9018781
