Abstract
The authors describe the technique for sending material through the mail to be used for the culture and study of gonococci. The medium used consists of distilled water, defibrinated horse blood, crystal violet and p-aminobenzoic acid. The blood-dye method for transmitting exudates through the mail is considered more efficient than the smear method in detecting such organisms in women and in men with chronic or latent infections. The authors do not recommend the sending of urine specimens through the mail for gonococcus studies as a routine procedure.
