title: [Surveillance of sexually transmitted diseases: practical approach (author's transl)].
abstract: Even today we still do not have enough precise information either on the number of diseases which should be included in this collective concept or on the frequency of the diseases and their complications. Information is also lacking on methods for measuring these frequencies and assuring satisfactory surveillance. Various methods of gauging the frequency of these diseases are examined and evaluated and a practical surveillance programme is suggested.
