Non-Gonococcal Urethritis

Abstract

another smear is then taken for T. vag. and a culture for T. vag. is made on 4 ml. minced meat to which has been added 250 u/ml. penicillin pH 6 3/6-8. After 3 days' incubation at 370 C. a suspension is made, and a drop of 69 copyright.

Non-gonococcal Urethritis

“…The incidence of this "inclusion-urethritis" is believed to be small, with estimations varying between 3 and 5 per cent. of all cases of non-gonococcal urethritis (Thygeson, 1954;Durel and Siboulet, 1954;Freundt, 1956). The idea of Lindner's that the agent causing trachoma was also responsible for inclusion-urethritis, cervicitis, and conjunctivitis has been recently revived with great success when it was found that contacts of one condition could develop one of the other diseases in this group and that experimental infection with the virus isolated from trachoma could produce inclusion-conjunctivitis (Gear, Gordon, Jones, and Bell, 1963 Jones and his associates isolated TRIC virus from a few men with inclusion-urethritis, thus opening the way for further study of its significance in genital infection (Jones, 1964;Dunlop, Jones, and Al-Hussaini, 1964).…”

Treatment of Non-Gonococcal Urethritis

“…successful results in the treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis. In a 43 study of over 1,600 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis, Durel, Roiron-Ratner, Siboulet, and Sorel (1954) used with varying success different methods of treatment which ranged from local applications to the urethra (aureomycin ointment 1 per cent. and Connesine jelly 2 4 per cent.…”

Occurrence and Ecology of Mycoplasma Species (Pleuro-pneumonia-like Organisms) in the Male Urethra

“…; Jensen (1954), 22 per cent. ; Durel, Roiron-Ratner, Siboulet, and Sorel (1954), 14 per cent. and Shepard (1954), 53 per cent.…”
