Gonorrhoea: Natural History and Management
Session Overview
Description
This session introduces the key aspects of gonorrhoea, its presentation and management.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Describe the clinical presentation of gonorrhoea
  • Undertake appropriate investigations
  • Manage uncomplicated gonorrhoea
  • Describe factors affecting gonorrhoea prevalence and antibiotic resistance

Prerequisites
Before commencing this session you should complete:

  • Module 01/Sexual History (260-0004)
  • Module 01/Male Genital Examination (260-0009)
  • Module 01/Female Genital Examination (260-0010)

Gonorrhoea is an important bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) with a relatively short incubation period.

In the UK, it disproportionally affects men who have sex with men (MSM) and people of black ethnicity, and is associated with living in areas of social deprivation.

Gonorrhoea is curable with antibiotics but can evolve rapidly to develop resistance. Ongoing surveillance is necessary to monitor changes in antimicrobial sensitivity.

Co-infections with other STIs are common. For example, approximately a third of patients with gonorrhoea are also infected with chlamydia.
