Incidence of gonorrhea in Belgrade, 1988-1994.
The incidence of gonorrhea in Belgrade decreased 55.5% from 1988 to 1994, but a decreasing trend of gonorrhea incidence actually started many years before. In all age groups gonorrhea incidence was higher in men than women, and the male/female ratio increased with age. The incidence was highest in men and women 20-29 years old. In both sexes the lowest incidence was below 15 years of age and in persons 50 or more years of age. In men, service and industrial workers were the most frequently affected by gonorrhea. In women the disease was commonest among unemployed persons and among workers of the service and industrial sectors. In both sexes gonorrhea infection was commonest in populations who had never married, and in the divorced population.
