Frequency of micturition and dysuria were prominent symptoms in 135 (57%) of 237 women with urethral syndrome. Urea‐plasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis and Chlamydia trachomatis were the principal organisms associated with the urethral syndrome (38.41%, 28.14% and 11.11%, respectively). Escherichia coli was cultured from four patients and Herepes genitalis and Neisseria gonorrhoea were isolated from five patients. Infections with more than one organism were frequent. Thirty‐one of 135 patients were infected by two organisms, 27 by three and 4 patients by four microorganisms. Vaginitis due to Garnerella vaginalis, Candida spp. and Trichomonas vaginalis was discovered in 52 (39%) of 135 patients.
