title: Gonorrhoea and non gonococcal urethritis in the male. The specialist view.
abstract: Although exact figures of the incidence of gonococcal and non gonococcal urethritis is Australia are not available the majority of cases seen in sexually transmitted disease clinics are male patients with these conditions. Evidence of increasing resistance of the gonococcus to penicillin--particularly that due to plasmid mediated penicillinase production--and current interest in Chlamydia trachomatis associated diseases in  males, females and neonates, necessitate constant review of the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
