Clinical Aspects of Gonorrhea
Abstract
- The efficacy of Thayer-Martin media (abbreviated TM media) recently introduced by the government, is a great concern to us. The results of culture on TM media are compared with the results obtained from Gram stained filrn. The subjects were 235 male patients with urethral discharge who visited the VD clinic of Choong-ku Puhlic Health Center in Seoul during 3 months period from 21th May to 20th August 1979. CDC recommendations are closely followed for Gram staining as well as for cultural identification. Among 151 positives with Gram staining, 142 were also culture positive (94.0%) while 8 were negative(5.2%) indicating reasonably good correlation. One patient was culturally positive(0. 8%) while negative by Gram staining. TM media supplied by Seoul Metropolitian Institute of Public Health which was used for this study is considered to be adequate.
