A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GRAM, S STAIN AND GONOCOCCI CULTURE IN DIAGNOSING GONORRHEA IN WOMEN
This study re-evaluated the application of Gram’s stain in diagnosing gonorrhea in women by comparing with gonococci culture.615 samples from 500 cases in clinic of Gynecology were studied.The results showed that sensitivity
specificity
positive predicative value
negative predicative value were 94.9% 95.2%
74%
99.2% respectively.It is suggested that Gram’s stain may be used in screening healthy subjects a-nd in diagnosing gonorrhea in women.
