Gonorrhoea of the throat at a venereological clinic incidence and results of treatment

Abstract

Occasional accounts of gonococcal infection of the throat have appeared in the literature since the 19th century, but no systematic investigations were published before the 1970s. Reports have now been made on the incidence, diagnostic criteria, paths of infection, symptomatology, complications, and treatment of the condition (Bro-Jørgensen and Jensen, 1973). We have studied certain aspects of gonorrhoea of the throat in two Swedish populations.
