There are as many as 200,000 girls with gonorrhea in the United States. Diagnosis requires clinical symptoms, smears, and cultures. For smears, vaginal secretions should be collected with a glass catheter containing some saline. The pH of the discharge is of diagnostic value: all girls with gonorrhea have an alkaline reaction. The pH of vaginal discharge from healthy girls is always less than 7.
