    Neiserria Gonorrhoea

    Uploaded by

    John Omandac
    Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Common symptoms in women include abnormal vaginal discharge and pelvic inflammatory disease. Left untreated, pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to infertility and ectopic pregnancies. Diagnosis is typically made through culture of samples from infected sites, though alternative tests detecting cellular components of N. gonorrhoeae are also used. Parenteral ceftriaxone is the only recommended treatment. Concurrent chlamydia infection is common and requires additional treatment with doxycycline or azithromycin to prevent complications. Treatment during pregnancy is essential to prevent ophthalmia neonatorum.
