Prevalence and significance of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum in the urines of a non-venereal disease population.

Ureaplasma urealyticum organisms (ureaplasmas) and Mycoplasma hominis organisms (mycoplasmas) were sought in mid-stream urines collected from 200 men and 200 women attending hospital with conditions of a non-venereal nature. In addition, the urines from 100 male and 100 female healthy volunteers were examined. Overall, ureaplasmas were isolated four times more often than mycoplasmas. In individuals less than 50 years of age, the organisms were found in about 20% of men and about 40% of women. In individuals 50 years or older, they were found about one-third to one-half as frequently. Centrifugation of urine and examination of the resuspended deposit did not increase the isolation rates. In men, the numbers of organisms in the urine were usually small (less than or equal to 10(3) c.c.u./ml) with less than tenfold more in the urine of women. The occurrence of 51- greater than 1000 leucocytes per mm3 in some of the urines was not associated with either the presence or an increased number of ureaplasmas/mycoplasmas, whereas they were associated with the presence of 10(5) or more bacteria/ml. The significance of these findings in the context of defining the role of ureaplasmas/mycoplasmas in genital-tract disease is discussed.

Changing pattern of male homosexual registrations in a venereal disease clinic, 1964-1974.

Registrations of heterosexual and homosexual men, with and without gonorrhoea, as recorded at Ward 34, Newcastle General Hospital, from 1964 to 1974, show substantial rises. During this time, the number of cases of gonorrhoea in men, both heterosexually and homosecually acquired, has approximately doubled. However, the incidence of individual gonococcal re-infection would not appear to have changed significantly. More men attend with non-venereal conditions and show an increasing willingness to return. A greater co-operation between homosexuals with gonorrhoea and the social unit has evolved and a greater number of sexual contacts are now traced and examined.

[Incidence of sexually transmissible disorders in clients of 2 ambulatory venereal disease clinics in Amsterdam, 1981-1987].

Since 1981 sexually transmitted diseases (STD) diagnosed at the STD clinics of the Municipal Health Service of Amsterdam, are registered by sex, sexual orientation and prostitution. Numbers of diagnoses per 1,000 new consultations are compared for each group of visitors over the period 1981-1987. Among heterosexual visitors there has been a steady decline of gonorrhoea and trichomoniasis since 1981. Genital herpes and venereal warts after increasing until 1985 have reached a plateau. Because of the early appearance of these trends they cannot be attributed to changes in heterosexual behaviour brought about by the AIDS epidemic. Nongonococcal urethritis has been increasing since 1981, possibly due to insufficient Chlamydia trachomatis detection in the country. After several years of decline, early syphilis has been increasing since 1987 among heterosexual men and women. Among homo/bisexual men the numbers of cases of gonorrhoea and early syphilis as well as the number of consultations for STD have decreased strongly since 1984, which may well be the result of changes in homosexual behaviour because of AIDS.
