abstract: 369 suspecious patients with gonorrhea from 6 general hospitals in Jilin between June and December, 1987, were examined clinically and bacteriologically. Gonococcus was found in 332 of 369 cases(90% positive rate) from their externalia excreta by Gram-staining technique. The period prevalence rate of gonorrhea was estimated at 27.8/100,000, ie, 332 from 1,199,445, the average population in Jilin, derived from Jilin Public Security Bureau. The population distribution survey to the patients shows more males than females, more married than unmarried, and more workers, salesmen, drivers and than others. Most of them received a middle-degree education. The cases were found mainly during July, August, and September. The result implies that gonorrhea trends to prevail in Jilin.
