The incidence of gonorrhea in an abortion population.

Abstract:

:The incidence of gonorrhea was investigated in an abortion population. A total of 1021 women participated in this study. Three asymptomatic cases of gonorrhea were detected. None of these women had had gonorrhea before or had a previous abortion. No relation was found between the incidence of gonorrhea and age. The abortion population in our community cannot be considered to be a high-risk group for gonorrhea. In our opinion, this low incidence neither justifies routine gonococcal culture nor the prophylactic use of antibiotics in the abortion population. :An abortion population of 1021 women at a clinic in the Netherlands was investigated as to the incidence of gonorrhea among them. The sampling of women was believed to be representative in age, nationality, and marital status of the total abortion population at the clinic. There was no significant connection between previous abortion and venereal disease. Gonorrhea was proven in only 3 out of these 1021 women. A positive cervical culture offered the proof; the urethral cultures were negative. All the 3 cases were asymptomatic. None of the 3 women had had gonorrhea previously nor had they had a previous abortion. The incidence of gonorrhea was not associated with age. This low incidence of gonorrhea among the abortion population does not justify routine gonococcal culture or prophylactic use of antibiotics in the abortion procedure.
