Asymptomatic gonorrhea.
The results of our studies showed that: 1. Asymptomatic gonorrhea occurred in about 70% of infected women, and in 10 to 15% of infected men; 2. Asymptomatic rectal gonorrhea occurred in 15% of those women with positive cervical cultures, and in 20% of infected women was the sole site of a positive culture; 3. The rectal site should be examined for N. gonorrhoeae both in diagnosis and in testing for cure; 4. Pharyngeal gonorrhea occurred in 22% of patients who were named as gonorrhea contacts and practiced fellatio. In 13% of this group (four cases) the pharynx was the only site of a positive culture.
