Gonorrhea — Clinical Guidelines

Overview

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, affecting primarily the urogenital tract but capable of disseminating to other sites including the pharynx, rectum, and skin. 2 13

Diagnosis

Clinical Presentation: Urethritis, cervicitis, pharyngitis, proctitis, or disseminated infections. 2 17

Microbiological Tests: Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are highly sensitive and specific. Culture remains important for antibiotic susceptibility testing. 2 13

Examination: Include rectal examination in sexually active adolescent men due to potential asymptomatic carriage in the prostate. 16

Management

First-Line Treatment: Ceftriaxone 250 mg intramuscularly in combination with oral azithromycin 1 g as a single dose. 2 11

Adjunctive Measures: Ensure partner notification and treatment to prevent reinfection and further spread. 2

Special Populations

Pregnancy: Specific guidelines recommend avoiding certain antibiotics; consult local obstetric guidelines for safe treatment options. 2

Pediatrics: Disseminated gonorrhea can occur in prepubertal children, often originating from pharyngeal infection; prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial. 15

Elderly: No specific guidelines noted; standard treatment protocols apply but vigilance for atypical presentations is advised. 2

Key Recommendations

Use Ceftriaxone and Azithromycin for Treatment: Combination therapy with ceftriaxone 250 mg IM and azithromycin 1 g orally for uncomplicated gonorrhea. (Evidence: Strong 2 11)

Include Rectal Examination in Adolescents: Routine rectal examination is recommended in sexually active adolescent men due to potential asymptomatic gonococcal infection in the prostate. (Evidence: Moderate 16)

Prompt Partner Notification and Treatment: Essential to prevent reinfection and further transmission. (Evidence: Expert opinion 2)
