9.6 Clinical Presentation
Gonococcal infections include urethral, anorectal, pharyngeal, and conjunctival infections in males and females. The main described risk factors for the acquisition of gonorrhea are summarized in Box 9.1. The differential diagnosis depends on the mucocutaneous site. Untreated infections can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), disseminated gonococcal infections, and, although rare, endocarditis and meningitis. Co-infection with C. trachomatis in the same site, is frequent.
