Pelvic examinations in 1,906 women at the Gynaecological Room, Out-Patient Department, Siriraj Hospital, in June 1990 were studied. The range of ages was between 14 and 85 years, the mean age being 34.5 +/- 11.5 years. Almost three-quarters (74.7%) of the cases had undergone Pap smear examinations; of these, 36.5 per cent followed up on the results and 6.7 per cent were sent the results by postcard as requested by the patients. The percentage of the clinical diagnoses in women who underwent pelvic and Pap smear examinations (Pap smear data are within the parentheses) were: 36.6 (29.0) no abnormal findings, 14.9 (10.5) vulvovaginitis and leukorrhea, 10.1 (9.7) cervicitis and cervical erosion, 5.6 (1.9) bleeding per os, 3.4 (0.3) abortion, and 3.3 (1.3) adnexitis. The mean age of the women with various diseases were: 27 years in cases of abortion; 30-34 years in women with inflammation of the vulva, vagina, cervix and adnexa, including bleeding per os; 41-45 years in women with cervical polyps, suspected carcinoma, precancer and carcinoma of the cervix, combined with myoma uteri; 48 years in women with relaxation of the genital organ. Every woman who underwent pelvic examination should have a Pap smear and VCE technique performed for the early detection of cervical carcinoma. Health care workers should also ensure that every patient follows up on the results.

Cultivation and serological tests for Chlamydia trachomatis were made in a total of 39 male patients (24 married, 11 single, 3 divorced, 1 widower) and their female partners (9 extra-marital, 12 wives) on average 35 years old in both groups. Apart from the clinical diagnosis of non-specific urethritis found in all male patients, 11 patients suffered from other infections (5 from balanitis, 4 from prostatitis, 1 from prepuce infection, 1 from herpetic infection) and subjective disorders. Side by side with clinical diagnosis of cervicitis or in combination with urethritis found in 16 female sexual partners, two of them suffered also from vulvovaginitis, 2 from adnexitis, 1 from candidosis, 1 had dysuric difficulties and 1 female patient was found sterile. 11 women had no subjective problems. The cultivation-tinction technique used in 25 men (14 married, 11 single) and 14 female sexual partners respectively (8 marital and 6 extramarital), positive Chlamydia trachomatics was isolated 21 times (84%) and 9 times (64.3%) respectively. The immunofluorescence technique using monoclonal antibodies applied to 39 men (24 married, 15 single) and 21 female sexual partners respectively, (i. e. 12 marital and 9 extramarital) gave positive results in 29 cases (74.4%) and 16 persons (76.2%) respectively. One patient was homosexual with a positive finding in the urethra and rectum, and, in addition, he was found to have BWR positive with Candida albicans and group B streptococci, however, his serological HIV was negative. The immunoenzymatic test (EIA) showed borderline titres as being positive in men in 28.2% cases and women in 26.3% and high levels (1:128+) in 41.0% in male patients and 21.1 percent in female patients respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
