Abstract

Objective: To define risk factors for gonococcal infection.

Methods: A case-control study comparing 200 gonorrhoea cases with 400 patients with non-gonococcal genitourinary infections and 400 patients with various skin diseases, all of them attending City Department for Skin and Venereal Diseases In Belgrade (Yugoslavia) from October 1993 to December 1994.

Results: According to multivariate logistic regression analysis the following factors were significantly related to gonorrhoea in men: education level, sexual contact same day as meeting, condom use, history of prior gonorrhoea, and casual and/or new sex partner in the past month. Age, sexual contact same day as meeting, number of partners in the past year, and frequency of sexual intercourse in the past month were independently, significantly related to gonorrhoea in women. Also, in females, gonorrhoea was significantly more frequent in industrial workers and supported people.

Conclusion: Since sexual behaviour, low education level, younger ages, and low socioeconomic status were found to be related to gonococcal infection, health education at early age seems to be the most appropriate means of altering high risk behaviour.

淋病的危险因素:病例对照研究。

目的:明确淋球菌感染的危险因素。方法:对1993年10月~ 1994年12月在南斯拉夫贝尔格莱德市皮肤性病科就诊的200例淋病患者、400例非淋球菌性泌尿生殖系统感染患者和400例各种皮肤病患者进行病例对照研究。结果:多因素logistic回归分析显示，男性淋病发病与受教育程度、当日性接触、安全套使用情况、既往淋病史、近一个月有性伴和/或新的性伴有显著相关。年龄、见面当日性接触、近一年性伴侣数、近一个月性行为频次与女性淋病有独立、显著相关。此外，在女性中，淋病在工业工人和贫困人口中更为常见。结论:由于性行为、低文化程度、低龄化和低社会经济地位与淋球菌感染有关，早期健康教育似乎是改变高危行为的最合适手段。
