  • Title: Female gonorrhea: its relation to abnormal uterine bleeding, urinary tract symptoms, and cervicitis.
    Author: Curran JW, Rendtorff RC, Chandler RW, Wiser WL, Robinson H.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1975 Feb; 45(2):195-8. PubMed ID: 804148.
    Abstract:
    Data are presented from an investigation of the assocation of presenting complaints with gonococcal infection in females seeking primary care in an urban emergency room. Over 27% of patients in the study had cultures positive for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC). The GC positivity rates which were significantly higher than expected were found in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, urinary tract symptoms, and cervicitis, as well as acute PID. Clinical findings suggest an etiologic role for the gonococcus in the pathogenesis of these disorders. Where the incidence of gonorrhea is high, new approaches in the managment of patients with these presenting complaints are necessary in order to prevent the more serious complications of gonorrhea and further spread of the disease.
