Etiology of acute epididymitis presenting in a venereal disease clinic.

Sixteen patients aged 19-42 years and suffering from acute epididymitis were investigated. In twelve patients evidence of acute epididymitis developed without premonitory urethral symptoms. The only microbiologic finding for ten patients was Chlamydia trachomatis; both C. trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae were isolated from four patients. Two patients, who had recently had antibiotic treatment, harbored neither of these microorganisms. These observations indicate that C. trachomatis must be considered a dominant cause of acute epididymitis in the younger age groups. This fact has implications for the choice of treatment (erythromycin or tetracycline) and the investigations and treatment of sexual contacts.

Prevalence of bovine venereal disease in the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory: likely economic effects and practicable control measures.

Area prevalences of bovine Campylobacteriosis and Trichomoniasis in the Victoria River District (VRD) of the Northern Territory were determined by a survey of bulls. Eighty-seven percent of herds were infected with Campylobacteriosis and 65.6 percent were infected with Trichomoniasis. The levels of infection recorded are likely to be causing significant reductions in reproductive rates. Control of Campylobacteriosis is unlikely to be practicable on a district basis, but in some herds it may be possible to implement control measures in select groups subject to good stock control. Trichomoniasis control measures are generally not implementable in the VRD management situation. Computer modelling suggests that control measures are unlikely to be profitable in commercial herds. There is a need for field investigations to confirm this.
