Abstract
The presence of Chlamydia trachomatis was studied by the direct immunofluorescence test, as also was that of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma by the standard methods, in 82 patients with urethral discharge. Ch. trachomatis was found in 19.5% (16) of the cases and in 11 of them (68.8%) there was association with the other bacteria investigated. This eleven patients presented a scanty gelatinous discharge.
