“…It will be noted from Table III that out of 154 women with trichomoniasis, 71 (46 per cent.) were also infected with gonorrhoea, a finding which agrees with that of Tsao (1969) and is a well recognized phenomenon among the selected female population of the venereal disease clinics. Table III also shows that only two out of 130 women with gonorrhoea had reported to the clinic on account of their symptoms.…”

The object of this study was three-fold:(1) To analyse the factors which prompted patients to attend the 'Special Clinic' of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, and so to determine the relative importance of symptoms in patients of both sexes.(2) To judge the effect of venereal disease propaganda, health education, and contact-tracing in bringing to the clinic patients in whom symptoms were absent or ignored.(3) To compare histories from women with gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, or both infections, to discover the extent to which symptoms prompted attendance, and to judge whether the reasons for attendance would give a valid means of assessing the overall severity of symptoms from each type of infection.The first two parts of the study included all patients making their first ever appearance at the clinic from the period January 1, 19691, , until June 30, 1969. In all there were 702 patients, 446 men and 256 women, giving a male/female ratio of 1-74 to 1. In the third part of the study, the cases ofwomen with gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, or both, who were diagnosed during the years 1967, 1968, and the first 6 months of 1969, were included.Received for publication July 6, 1970 Findings and commentary Table I

“…The other interesting correlation was between gonorrhoea and trichomoniasis, which has been described previously (Tsao, 1969;Catterall, 1970). This could be explained on the hypothesis that trichomonal infection is transient in the male, who transmits the organism before it is spontaneously eliminated; similarly, the short incubation period of gonorrhoea leaves little time for infection to be spread before the patient is obliged to seek treatment for urethral discharge.…”

“…(176 out of 841), was observed in the patients without gonorrhoea. Tsao (1969) reported that, in a series of 1,466 patients with gonorrhoea, 42 per cent. also had trichomoniasis and that, among 1,335 patients with Trichomonas infection, there were 620 with gonorrhoea (46 per cent.).…”
