Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Urethritis is primarily diagnosed based on symptoms, signs of urethral inflammation and microscopic findings.
- Symptoms include dysuria, urethral pruritus, burning
- Signs of urethral inflammation include urethral discharge, which can be mucoid, mucopurulent, or purulent.
- Microscopic findings
- Gonorrheal urethritis include, identification of gram-negative intracellular diplococci (GNID) or purple intracellular diplococci on methylene blue, or gentian violet stain. Presence of Invaded epithelial cells, vacuoles that contain multiple organisms and >2 WBC per oil immersion field.
- Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is [[microscopically characterized by signs of inflammation with absence of gram-negative intracellular diplococci.
