Abstract: In 1987 the number of cases of early symptomatic syphilis increased by 1.5% to 1211 cases (3.2 per 100 thousand). Early asymptomatic syphilis was diagnosed in 2.5 per 100 thousand of the population, that is 5% less than in the preceding year. In all, 2136 cases of early syphilis were recorded, that is 1% less than in the preceding year, and the incidence was 5.7 per 100 thousand. The incidence of gonorrhoea decreased by 23% to 7665 cases, that is 20.3 per 100 thousand, the lo-west incidence after World War II. The male/female sex ratio was 3.4:1. The incidence of non-gonococcal urethritis was 16% lower in men, that is 26.6 per 100 thousand of men. The ratio of NGU to gonorrhoea was 82:100. Anti-HIV antibodies were detected in 1987 in another 32 Polish citizens (since 1985 they were found in 52 Polish citizens) and 7 foreigners, 3 of whom left Poland. Homosexual and bisexual males prevailed (23), 14 were haemophiliacs, 9 were women (5 prostitutes). Two new cases of AIDS were found (three in all), all three patients died.
