Sexually Transmitted Diseases by Richard B. Roberts, M.D. Gonorrhea - Neisseria gonorrhoeae Epidemiology: Gonorrhea is the leading reportable STD in adults in the US. In 1994, 407,600 cases were reported, more from urban than rural areas. Incubation period: 1-14 days, the average 2-5 days. Symptoms: Infections affect primarily the skin and mucous membranes - proctitis, pharyngitis, cervicitis, urethritis (anterior urethritis with purulent discharge in males). Clinical manifestations: Local complications include epididymitis (males) and pelvic inflammatory disease (females). Gonococcal conjunctivitis may occur in adults via direct inoculation by contaminated hands (contact wearers must take precautions), while newborns may develop ophthalmia neonatorum after inoculation in the birth canal of their infected mothers. Prophylactic therapy consists of erythromycin or silver nitrate given shortly after birth. Blood borne infection (DGI) is another complication which is characteristically manifested in the skin as dirty gray pustules with an erythematous base and purulent center. These lesions are accompanied by fever, tenosynovitis and migratory arthralgias or arthritis of small joints. If undiagnosed, the skin lesions will eventually clear, and the disease will localize to a large joint. Perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh Curtis syndrome), endocarditis, or meningitis are rare complications. Treatment: Usually ceftriaxone, to which most organisms are sensitive. The patient may be started on treatment before diagnosis is certain and before results of antibiotic sensitivities are known. Treatment is necessary because failure of only 1% poses substantial selective pressure to select resistant strains. Treatment should include a seven day course of tetracycline because there is a risk of simultaneous infection with Chlamydia.
