Abstract
Urethritis is either gonococcal or non-gonococcal. This paper describes the investigation of 286 cases of urethral or vaginal discharges, dysuria or urethral irritation. Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) was found to be the commonest form of urethritis accounting for 65.05 per cent of cases. Gonococcal urethritis (GU) and abacterial urethritis were accounted for 24.47 per cent and 10.48 per cent of cases respectively. No history of sexual exposure was found in 21.27 per cent of cases with NGU, whereas this was invariably present in cases of GU. This may indicate that in at least some of the patients with NGU, the disease may not be sexually transmitted. This point needs further study.
