The culture is the optimal procedure for the diagnosis of gonorrhea in the female and should be used in every suspicious case. The percentage of loss through use of a transport medium (Stuart) and by submitting the specimen to a central laboratory for examination affects the results. For this reason a simple procedure was tested based on Chapin's candle-flame method and using Martin and Thayer's selective culture medium. This method can be used in every laboratory. The described procedure requires little more work than Gram's method. In our test series, a higher percentage of positive results were obtained with this method than with the microscopic diagnosis and the transport medium.
