OBJECTIVE: To utilise urine as a holding medium in isolating Neisseria gonorrhoeae in place of urethral, high-vaginal and endocervical swabs.
DESIGN: Screening and diagnostic test.
SETTING: A rural community in Jos and Applied Microbiology Research Unit, University of Jos, Jos, Nigeria.
SUBJECTS: A random sample of 300 asymptomatic individuals (151 males, 149 females).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Neisseria gonorrhoeae identification.
RESULT: Nineteen Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates were obtained with the isolation rate to 6.3%. Twelve isolates from males and seven isolates from females representing 63.7% and 36.8% respectively. The peak age group was 21-25 years with 12 positive cases (63.2%).
CONCLUSION: Urine culture proved an effective and painless alternative in screening N. gonorrhoeae in asymptomatic individuals. The age group 21-25 years is suggested for intervention studies. This method is less expensive and easily accepted by subjects as confidentiality is also maintained.
