title: [Benzalkonium in local contraception and sexually-transmitted diseases].
abstract: In 96 women, followed in ambulatory from 1983 to 1986, the use as a local contraceptive of a sponge treated with benzalkonium has been studied. This substance has not only shown itself a good contraceptive but may result even a useful precautionary measure against STD.
