Men with suspected urethritis should undergo evaluation to confirm the causes of urethritis for prevention of its complications and spread of this disease. Aim: This cross-sectional study was conducted to detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum for diagnosis of gonococcal and non-gonococcal urethritis from urethral discharge. Comparison of different microbiological techniques used for diagnosis of gonococcal urethritis was also studied here.......
