[Solar activity and venereal disease morbidity].

Analysis of the solar activity and incidence of sexually-transmitted diseases over the period of 1954 through 1987 has revealed that development of fading of an epidemic process in sexually-transmitted diseases does not depend on enhancement or weakening of solar activity. These values much differ in respect of many parameters in various years, there is no correlation as regards the length of the periods between the minimal and maximal values or over these periods in various years. The morbidity rates are in inverse correlation with the activity of therapeutic and prophylactic institutions in detecting the patients during all types of prophylactic check-ups.

Seeking clinic care for veneral disease: a study of teenagers.

Seventy-three male and 68 female teenagers attending a VD clinic sponsored by Chicago Department of Health were surveyed to identify their reasons for visiting the clinic, symptoms experienced, and sources of VD information and referrals. Sex, previous VD history, and presenting symptoms were factors examined in the data analysis. More t han 75% of subjects visited the clinic without a previous VD history. The most frequently cited reason for seeking care for males was a suspected symptom of VD; whereas females' reasons were diversified. Unusual discharge and burning urination were common symptoms reported for both sexes. The chief source of VD information for all teenagers was friends. Mass media was reported as an important source of information for males, while females frequently cited health care personnel. Verereal disease symptoms, location of clinics, and awareness of the importance of early treatment emerged as important elements of VD education. The study suggested that the dissemination of VD information was more effective when a personal approach was utilized for both males and females. For early casefinding and treatment of VD, a personal approach seemed to play a key role in motivating the teenagers to seek health care.

[Treatment of gonorrhea at the Venereal Disease Clinic in Copenhagen in 1985. A study of the efficacy of standardized treatment compared with the sensitivity of Gonococcus to penicillin in vitro].

In 1985, a total of 1,140 patients (907 men and 503 women) were treated for gonorrhoea at the Copenhagen County Outpatients Clinic at Rudolph Berghs Hospital. Failure of the standard treatment regimen (pivampicillin plus probenecid; patients stating penicillin allergy received a Sulfotrim-regimen) occurred in 79 (5.6%). A significant association between the in vitro susceptibility to penicillin and the efficacy of the standard treatment regimen was found; among 1,139 patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea caused by penicillin susceptible gonococci, the failure rate was low (0.4-1.9%); the failure rate was high in patients infected with penicillin resistant gonococci. Continued surveillance of the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of gonococci is recommended as a basis for the choice of standard treatment regimen.
