Abstract
PRIMARY cutaneous infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, without urethritis, following sexual contact is an unusual venereal disease entity generally overlooked. A patient with a penile ulceration appearing 35 days after contact was proved, by Lowry and Franks (1943),1to have gonorrhea resistant to sulfathiazole treatment but cured by cauterization of the lesion. Kroll and Cohart (1944)2reported two proved cases of primary penile ulceration due to N. gonorrhoeae, in which treatment with sulfathiazole was successful. A fourth patient was successfully treated with crystalline penicillin G in peanut oil, 300,000 units daily for seven days, by Scott and Thomsen (1950).3A patient with gonorrheal pustule on the penis was treated successfully with 2.0 gm. of aureomycin by Marmell (January, 1952 )4after failing to respond to 2,900,000 units of penicillin.
