Abstract
Through the use of special techniques, diphtheroids were isolated from the urethra in 94% of male patients with non-gonococcal urethritis and in 11% of controls by passage in the yolk sac of fertile eggs. Diphtheroids may be associated with non-gonorrheal urethritis since they disappear on clinical cure, return on relapse and continue to be present in patients who do not respond to treatment.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
