title: Abdominal pain and gonorrhoea.
abstract: Two patients are described who presented with features of the Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. Recognition of this entity may prevent unnecessary investigation before diagnosis and treatment. As the incidence of gonorrhoea is increasing, complications such as this may be seen more frequently among patients presenting to surgical or gynaecological wards.
