Uretris masculina. Aspectos clínicos, microbiológicos, epidemiológicos y terapéuticos en 299 pacientes
Abstract
In 1983 two hundred and ninety nine patients with urethritis were studied; nongonococcal cases accounted for 81.0% of the total; sexual promiscuity was common even after the onset of urethral symptoms; several mistakes were detected through analysis of the therapeutic approach, namely: prescription of antibiotics that are not indicated in the management of urethritis and overuse of aminoglycosides; although clinical grounds exist for suspecting UNG it is still advisable to perform a urethral Gram stain on every patient with urethritis; in this series results of Gram stain and selective culture for Neisseria agreed 95.8% of the times. Several aspects of the urethritis problem deserve further research in the Colombian milieu.
