Diagnosis of gonorrhea in girls. Dahschleiter (Vener. and Derm., 1928, No. 3)

Dahschleiter dedicates his work to the diagnosis of gonorrhea in girls. If there is no consensus on the practical value of bacteriological examination of genital secretions for suspected gonorrhea in adult women, there is even more difficulty in determining the nature of vulvitis and vaginitis, on the basis of bacteriological examination, in girls. The author dwells on the question, which attracts the attention of venereologists and urologists, of the importance of Gram-negative diplococci and the so-called Asch's diplococci in the recognition of gonorrhea.
