Non-Gonococcal Urethritis

During the final stages of treatment of a case which was originally one of acute gonorrhoea, there is often a residual urethritis where no organisms or only non-specific organisms are found. This is seen frequently, and is undoubtedly the most prevalent form of non-gonococcal urethritis. In this type of case it is possible that gonococci may be hiding in the deep tissues, and repeated bacteriological examinations must be made during the subsequent course of treatment. These are simply cases of gleet where no gonococci are found.
