title: [On the practical value of microscopic examination of urethral and cervical smears in gonorrhoea].
abstract: A one-year material of patients with gonorrhoea was made up by 150 men and 91 women. In 104 men a microscopic examination of urethral smears was performed by which a correct diagnosis was made in 88 cases. There were 84,6% correct positive, 11,5% false negative and 2,9% false positive microscopies among the men. In the female group 30 microscopies of urethral and cervical smears were performed of which 7 were diagnostic. There were 23,3% correct positive and 73,3% false negative microscopies. Men had significantly more microscopies done than females and a correct diagnosis was significantly more frequently established in men than in women. Men had significantly more often symptoms of gonorrhoea than women.
