“…McFadzean, Pugh, Squires, and Whelan (1969) (Eriksson and Wanger, 1975). Correlation between antitrichomonal therapy and the prevalence of C. albicans Antitrichomonal therapy has been considered to be one of the contributory factors in the increasing frequency of C. albicans (Csonka, 1963;Catterall, 1971;Keighley, 1971;Ross, 1973), but we have not observed any such increase in the prevalence of C. albicans after antitrichomonal therapy in our series.…”

“…albicans was identified by culture on Sabouraud agar plates. Eriksson and Wanger (1975) Treatment for trichomoniasis was not given until gonorrhoea was diagnosed or excluded. In patients in whom both gonorrhoea and trichomoniasis were diagnosed and treated at the same visit, antitrichomonal treatment was started the day after the antigonococcal treatment.…”

Summary 46 women with trichomoniasis and gonorrhoea were treated with nimorazole (300 mg twice daily for 7 days) and a trichomonal cure rate of 90.2 per cent. was noted.In addition, 53 of 112 patients with trichomoniasis but without gonorrhoea, were treated with metronidazole (200 mg three times a day for 7 days) and 59 with nimorazole (300 mg twice daily for 7 days) in a randomized trial. The cure rates were 96 and 90-5 per cent. respectively. There was no significant difference in the results noted in the two groups.Neither the trichomonal infection itself nor the result of antitrichomonal therapy was affected by antigonococcal therapy (one-day treatment with ampicillin or single-dose therapy with doxycycline).No increase was noted in the frequency of candidiasis after antitrichomonal therapy (in patients without gonorrhoea) or after antigonococcal therapy, but there was substantial variation between consecutive specimens in the prevalence of C. albicans.

“…Asymptomatic women harbouring gonococci have been reported by several authors. Eriksson and Wanger (1975), Waters and Roulston (1969), and Pariser and Marino (1970) reported asymptomatic gonococcal infection in 35 3%, 8712%, and 90% of patients respectively. Generally, higher rates of infection have been reported from North American clinics (Charles et al, 1970;Prince et al, 1964;Waters and Roulston, 1969) than in Britain (Thin and Michael, 1970;Silverstone et al, 1974).…”

suMMARy Four hundred and ten female patients attending obstetric and gynaecological outpatient departments were investigated for possible gonococcal infection. All were in their reproductive phase. Forty-two (10'2 %) of them harboured Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Of the infected patients, 40 5 % had no symptoms at all. Investigation was carried out using a single, endocervical specimen cultured in Chacko-Nair egg-enriched media.
