“…is Psychological and social studies (e.g. by Bundeson et al 1949, Lentz et al 1953 have shown that the intelligence of 'repeaters' is below average and that they are psychologically immature. Even if it were possible to rectify this a 'repeater' cannot be diagnosed as such beforehand.…”

“…returned with a new infection within 6 months. Several studies have been carried out of the psychological and socioeconomic circumstances of persons with repeated infections (Boese, 1953;Lentz, Morton, Garrison, and Leberman, 1953), and it has been shown that in many instances the intelligence of "repeaters" was belownormal (Bundesen, Plotke,and Eisenberg, 1949).…”

This study was designed to assess the epidemiological importance of repeated infections due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae and to analyze variables potentially associated with repeated gonorrhea. The retrospective analysis was of 7,347 patients seen during one year, and the prospective study was of a stratified randomly selected sample of 429 patients. The 492 retrospectively identified repeaters constituted 0.06% of the county population and 6.7% of the clinic population. The 492 repeaters had 21.6% of the cases of gonorrhea reported from the county and 29.4% of the cases reported from the clinic. The repeaters tended to be younger than those without repeated infection (P less than 0.001), male (62%), black (81.7%), and residents of areas of lower socioeconomic status than those who were not repeaters (P less than 0.001). Most repeaters (73.5%) had not graduated from high school. Repeaters did not have significantly greater numbers of sex partners (P greater than 0.05) or greater exposure to prostitutes or clients than those who did not have repeated infections and less frequently had sexual contact while symptomatic. Intensive follow-up of the small number of high-risk repeaters and their contacts could result in a major reduction in the number of reported cases of gonorrhea.
