Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) from 5899 female out-patients with inflammation of genitourinary tract was detected. Among 18.57% positive cases, the effective rates of the gonorrhea (26.07%) and urethritis (23.73%) were higher than those of the Condyloma acuminatum (CA) (17.73%), vaginitis (17.70%), and cervicitis (11.54%)(P< 0.01), indicating that there were various degrees of NG infection in genitourinary tract diseases. Moreover, Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), NG, and human papilloma viruses (HPV) were also detected in 8329 patients with vaginitis. Among 20.01% positive cases, the positive rate of UU was 39.95%, CT 21.36%, NG 17.70%, and HPV 16.40%. Variance analysis showed that significant differences existed in the vaginitis caused by different pathogens ( P <0.01); namely, four kinds of pathogens were present in the patients with vaginitis.
