Gonorrhea is a sexually or vertically transmitted infection secondary to Gram-negative diplococcus Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Most of the infected females are asymptomatic but may present with increased or altered vaginal discharge, dysuria, urethral discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, vulval itching or burning, dyspareunia, conjunctivitis and proctitis.
If resources permit, lab tests to screen women with vaginal discharge should be considered.
The justification for empiric treatment becomes stronger as the prevalence of gonorrheal and chlamydial infections in the patient population becomes higher.
