Abstract
A previous review (Benson and Steer, 1937) of the literature on gonorrheal vaginitis in children covered the more important contributions up to 1936. Reviews of the literature have also been published by Thomas and by Reichert and his associates. Since the time of those reviews there has been widespread interest in gonorrheal vaginitis, and new methods of diagnosis and treatment have resulted. Recent publications on the normal anatomy of the genital tract and the pathologic anatomy of gonorrheal vaginitis have produced valuable information. Because of these new contributions it has seemed worth while to bring the review up to date. INCIDENCE The previous survey indicated that gonorrheal vaginitis in children was of frequent occurrence. Since the time of its publication the following authors have supported that contention: Rice, 1,200 cases in hospitals, clinics and child-caring institutions of New York in 1936; Rosenthal and Weinstein, 343 reported cases in New York
