A total of 803 patients participated in a consecutive review of the disease pattern concerning venereal diseases. The investigation took place in the Clinic for Venereal Diseases in Nuuk/Godthåb during a period of three months. Less than half of the contacts were on account of symptoms of genital infection. One fifth of the patients had been summoned for partner control. A corresponding proportion felt well and had not been exposed to any known risk of infection. Chlamydia trachomatis was demonstrated in 19% and gonorrhoea in 10%. Among the asymptomatic persons, 16% were found to be Chlamydia positive and 0.6% gonococcal positive. Syphilis was demonstrated in one man and one woman. One man was known to be HIV-positive and two contacts of this patient were found to be negative but seroconversion occurred subsequently in both cases. Vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis were found in 38% of the women. In over one third (39%), no clinical or microbiological evidence of genital infection was found. Early diagnosis, treatment, information and tracing of contacts are still the cardinal principles in the combat of venereal diseases in Greenland.
