Three (five) cases of Syphilis were treated as the result of routine ante-natal
testing. Two were West Indians, the third case was a German woman married to an Englishman
and was probably a Congenital infection.
It will be notices that there was no evidence of any decline in the amount of
Gonorrhoea and Urethritis treated in this Clinic. It is probable, too, that many cases
are treated by their own Doctors. There is consequently no means of knowing the real
prevalence of these conditions or of doing all that should be done to trace the sources
of infection.
Under "Other Conditions" are included Vaginitis and Cervicitis in women and
balanitis and non-specific penile lesions in men. These conditions are,not necessarily
venereal but there is usually reason for this possibility to be investigated.
