Abstract
Medical records of two health institutions in Owerri ‐ Owerri General Hospital and Avigram Medical Diagnostic and Research Laboratories ‐ were examined between 1990 and 1993 to determine the extend and types of sexually transmitted diseases in Owerri. Sexually transmitted diseases recorded in both centers were trichomoniasis, candidiasis, gonorrhoea, and syphilis. The cases of confirmed STD at the General Hospital Owerri nearly doubled from 77 in 1990 to 144 in 1993. For the Avigram Medical Laboratories the figures almost tripled 134 and 367 for 1990 and 1993 respectively. Data analysis of the cases confirmed at the Owerri General Hospital and Avigram Medical Laboratories gave no significant difference between the two institutions at the 95% level of confidence.
