ABSTRACT
Forty five gonococcal patients were treated with spectinomycin hydrochloride at the Department of Urology, St. Mary's Hospital from August 1. 1972 to December 32. 1972. All patients were male and confirmed as acute gonorrheal urethritis by gram stained smear or culture. The cure ability in this series was very satisfactory The results were as follows; 1. Gram negative ;intracellular diplococci was controlled in 29 patients (96.7%) among 3O patients with pure gonococcal infection with a single injection of spectinomycin hydrochloride. 2. Gram negative intracellular diplococci was controlled in 14 patients (93.3%) among 15 patient with mixed infection with a single injection of spectinomycin hydrochloride. 3. Only two in all patients were controlled in gram negative intracellular diplococci with repeat injection. 4. 4 patients (13.3%) of the pure gonoccoccal patients with a single injection were converted to non-specific urethritis, which were treated with combination of other antibiotics. 5. 5 patients (33.3%) of the mixed infected patients with a single injection were converted to nonspecific urethritis, which were treated with combination of other antibiotics. 6. No side effect was noted in all patients.

We have experienced an unusual case of hemorrhagic infarct in the right testis at the age of 59 years. The spermatic cord showed normal appearance and no torsion was noted. Orchiectomy was performed as frozen section revealed hemorrhagic infarction of the testis. Herein, hemorrhagic infarction of testis, a rare clinical entity, was reported with review of literatures.

A 10-year-old boy presented with dribbling on urination, intermittent left flank pain and pyuria since birth. With voiding cystourelhrography this case was diagnosed as congenital anterior urethral valve which was confirmed by panendoscopic study. He was underwent electrocoagulation of the valve and left nephrectomy. And so he was discharged with good urinary stream on the 23 rd postoperative day.
