[A clinical study on CA 15-3, CEA, SCC-Ag in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung].

The serum levels of CA 15-3, Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and SCC-Ag were determined in 30 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. The patients were classified into 2 groups, a peripheral type and a central type, according to bronchoscopic findings. The obtained results were as follows: serum-CA 15-3 and serum-CEA were significantly elevated in patients with peripheral type, and serum-SCC-Ag was elevated in both types of squamous cell carcinoma.

Sexually transmitted diseases among prostitutes in Fukuoka, Japan.

The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among prostitutes was investigated at a genitourinary hospital in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1985 and 1986. The most common STD was Chlamydia trachomatis infection, followed by gonorrhea and condyloma acuminatum. Candidiasis, trichomoniasis and genital herpes were relatively uncommon. The rate of prostitutes who had STD but had no subjective symptoms were 42.9% in 1985 and 30.9% in 1986. The rate of prostitutes having mixed STD infection was 35.8% among the summed 162 STD-contracted prostitutes.

Gonorrhoea caused by a mixture of penicillinase-positive and -negative gonococci: a case report.

A 23-year-old unmarried man was infected with gonorrhoea from a prostitute in Fukuoka City and was treated with ampicillin which resulted in failure. By a rapid iodometric test it was found that the isolates before the treatment were penicillinase-negative. After the ampicillin treatment, however, the isolates turned to penicillinase-positive but were, in fact, a mixture of penicillinase-positive and penicillinase-negative gonococcal strains. Treatment by spectinomycin and doxycycline resulted in failure but the gonorrhoea was cured by ribostamycin.

[Ceftriaxone as a single-dose treatment for male gonococcal urethritis].

Ceftriaxone was used in single intravenously dose of 1 g to treat 20 men with gonorrhoea caused by penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) and non-PPNG. Of 14 patients followed up, 13 (92.9%) were cured. Cure rates for PPNG infections and non-PPNG infections were 100% and 90.9% respectively. No side effect was observed except 1 case of vomiting out of 20 cases. It is concluded that this drug is safe and effective in treating both PPNG and non-PPNG infections.

Epidemiology and treatment of gonorrhoea caused by penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Fukuoka, Japan.

Thirty strains of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) were detected by a rapid iodometric method out of 206 strains isolated from patients with gonorrhoea between January and December 1981. Of the 30 patients, five of the nine women were prostitutes and 14 of the 21 men were infected by prostitutes in or around Fukuoka City, with the exception of one who was infected in Formosa. Treatment with ampicillin or amoxycillin resulted in failure whereas treatment with spectinomycin was successful.

Antibiotic sensitivity patterns of penicillinase-positive and penicillinase-negative strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in Fukuoka, Japan.

Penicillinase production and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of penicillin G, amoxycillin, doxycycline, and spectinomycin were studied for 155 gonococcal strains isolated in Fukuoka, Japan, between April and December 1981. Of 155 isolates, 25 (16.1%) strains were identified as penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) by a rapid iodometric test. The antibiotic sensitivity of 130 penicillinase-negative (non-PPNG) and 25 PPNG strains was compared. The mean MIC of penicillin G for non-PPNG strains was 0.65 microgram/ml. Twenty-five PPNG strains had MICs of penicillin G between 6.25 and greater than 100 micrograms/ml. The susceptibility to amoxycillin and doxycycline of PPNG strains was significantly lower than that of non-PPNG strains. All the strains proved to be sensitive to spectinomycin. The MICs of four antibiotics for non-PPNG strains were significantly correlated.

Prevalence of hepatitis B markers, antibodies to adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma virus and antibodies to human immune deficiency virus in prostitutes in Fukuoka, Japan.

Prevalence of hepatitis B (HB) markers, antibodies to human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV-1) and antibodies to human immune deficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) in prostitutes working in Fukuoka city were studied. Sera were collected from 237 prostitutes during January-September, 1986. Among them, 9 (3.8%) were HB virus surface-antigen (HBs Ag) positive, of whom, 3 were HBe antigen positive and the remaining 6 were anti-HBe positive. The positive rate of anti-HBs was 34.2%. The incidence of anti-HTLV-1 in the prostitutes was 5.9%. These incidences are considered to be within the usual range in Kyushu district. No seropositive case for anti-HIV was found.
