Few of the large numbers of patients exposed to gonococcal infection make spontaneous complaint to the venereologist of a sore throat, and it is therefore possible to overlook infection in this region. Fiumara, Wise, and Many (1967) reported a fully documented case of gonococcal tonsillitis and two probable cases of pharyngitis in homosexual males; and Thatcher, McCraney, Kellogg, and Whaley (1969) isolated Neisseria gonorrhoeae from the pharynx of one patient in the course of a routine physical examination of 505 military personnel in whom there were no symptoms.
