Abstract (summary)
This study was designed to investigate the important risk factors associated with penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) among patients who attended Dekalb County Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic from 1982 to 1989.
Among all of the variables examined, age was found to be the one mostly associated with PPNG, 20-24 year age group in females and 25-29 year age group in males.
Sex was also found to be associated with PPNG. The majority of cases occurred among males 71.2%, while 28.8 occurred among females. Residential areas were also found to be strongly associated with PPNG. Most of the cases were concentrated in certain zip code urban areas, while some zip code areas farther from the urban area had fewer cases.
