Abstract

Ninety-six men with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) were studied to determine the microbiology of NGU in Singapore. Chlamydia trachomatis emerged as the most common aetiologic agent, being isolated in 29 (30.2%) of 96 patients. The recovery rate of other potential pathogens and their significance locally are discussed.
