Five hundred seventeen male patients with gonococcal urethritis at the VD clinic of Chocng-ku Public Health Center between Feb. 27 and Oct. 27, 1984 the were source cf this study. Forty-five of seventynine patients who had practiced cunnilingus were actual subjects of this study. Aeiss.ria gonorrhoeae were cultured from the pharynx of five patients: one was found to be PPNG. All 5 pharyngeal gonorrhea patients were asymptornatic and their throat appeared to be normal, except injection of the pharynx in one patient. Two patients infected by non-PPNG were administered an oral dose of 1. 0 gm probenecid plus 2 5 gm talampicillin and 2. Ogm Kanamycin sulfate, IM and one patient infected by non-PPNG was administred an oral dose of l. Ogm probenecid and, 3i) minutes later, 6. 0 m.u. fortified procaine penicillin G IM. One gatient infected by PPNG was administered an oral dose of 1, 0 gm probenecid and 30 minutes later, 1 vial of sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium, IM. All four pharyngeal gonorrgeal patients were cured, One patient was lost from further evaluation, We consider it important to have pharyngeal cultures done on all gonorrheal patients, at least on those who admit having had orogenital contact in recent episode, because pharyngeal gonococci may be the source of disseminated gonococcal disease and in rare circumstances, the source of mfection for sexual partners, and single lose spectinomycin and orally administered penciillin regimens that are effective against anogenital gonorrhea, had been known to have high rates of failure when used in the pharyngeal gonrorhea.

Scleredema is a rare scleradematosis of unknown cause involving the face, neck, upper portion of the trunk, and proximal upper extremities. The clinical features of the disease are nonpitting indurated edema or stiffness of the neck, which may be sudden or insidious in onset. Diabetes mellitus and its complications have been frequently described to be associated with this disease. We present a case of scleredema developed on the nape, upper portion of the back and shoulder in 60-year-old man who had been suffered from diabetes mellitus for the past ten years.

A 38-year-old female patient presented dystrophic nail changes on her all finger and toe nails for 10 years. On examination, nails were uniformly affected with longitudinal ridging, loss of normal luster and brownish discoloration. This patient has not had any inflammatory skin diseases or systernic illness for the past 10 years. Biopsy examination from the dystrophic nail showed non-specific eczematous changes. The clinical and histologic features of this yatient was considered as the consistent findings with the ty enty-nail dystrophy, occured on the idiopathic base, coined by previous authors.

We experienced two cases of generalized syringoma in a 21-year and a 34-year- old healthy woman. A 34-year-old woman have had numerous yellowish to pink papules on the face, anterior chest, upper part of the back and right buttock for the past twelve years. A 21-year-old woman have had numerous yellowish to brownish papules on the face, neck and anterior chest for the past ten years, and her mother had syringoma on the eyelids. Diapnosis was confirmed by clinical and histopathological findings as generalized syringoma.

Urethral duplication is rare congenital anomaly. It may be complete or partial, We report a case of PPNG urethritis which limited to the accessory urethra and treated with kanamycin (2. 0gm, im), ampicillin(3. 5gm, po) and probenecid(l pgm, po).

The treatment of gonorrhea caused by beta-strains of N. gonorrhoeae is quite different from that of non-beta-strains, but it is not always possible in general practice to take cultures of gonococci to detect p-lactamase producing organisms. Therefore treatment regimens commonly used for gonorrhoea should be effective against both PPNG non-PPNG strains. Eighty-seven male uncomplicated gonorrheal patients were treated with intramuscular kanarnycin 2gm in combilnation with talampicillin 2. 5 gm plus probenecid 1grn orally. Sixty-seven patients were followed up. All patients recovered. Ten patients among sixty-seven patients had PPNG. A regimen of intramuscular kanamycin 2 gm, talampicillin 2. 5 gm plus probenecid 1 0 gm orally seems to be one of the most cost effective regimens in Korea.
