Abstract
Of 1061 [male] inmates of a prison during a period of 9 months, no cases of acute infection were observed but 11 carriers of the gonococcus were found by cultivation of the organism. The longest proved carrier state was 7 yrs. and 2 months. 7 of the 11 continued to harbor the organism in spite of intensive therapy including treatment with sulphanilamide.Keywords
