Popis: A clinicoepidemiological study was conducted on patients who had visited our hospitals between April, 1990 and March, 1991, and we analyzed trends among male urethritis cases in Gunma.The total number of patients with male urethritis during this period was 317. The incidence of gonococcal urethritis (GU) was 27.8% and that of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) was 72.2%. In NGU, Chlamydia trachomatis was detected in 34.9%. Both GU and NGU were most commonly observed in patients in their twenties and thirties, and prostitutes were the most common source of the infection. New quinolones and minocycline were frequently administered.
