Gonorrhoeal urethritis in boys, considered to be a relatively rare disease, is in fact much more frequent. The process is usually localized in the anterior urethra and, according to the observations of Geft, Krom and Salzmann, has a benign course; only in isolated cases is there a transition to the posterior urethra. According to these authors, gonorrhoea in boys is therapeutically an extremely favorable subject, giving a cure within a short time without subsequent relapses.
