| | Gonorrhoea laboratory case definition |
 | | Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram negative diplococcus and a human specific pathogen, highly adapted to existence in the genital tract. | | | The commoner complications of both genital and extragenital gonorrhoea have their greatest consequences in women and the newborn. | | | Proctitis, associated with anorectal pain, tenesmus and rectal discharge is one presentation complex of ano-rectal gonorrhoea although again many infections are asymptomatic. |

| | Tracking gonorrhoea: The genetic diversity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae |
| | These health risks, together with a substantial increase in cases of gonorrhoea and the alarming rise in antibiotic-resistant strains, have made gonorrhoea a major public health concern and underlined the importance of contact tracing. | | | Speed is of the essence here because gonorrhoea has a very short incubation period (three to five days), and is therefore transmitted swiftly in a community. | | | "Some patients with gonorrhoea are unwilling to discuss their sexual practices or disclose how many people they have slept with; others simply can't remember," says Professor Catherine Ison, a researcher at Imperial College London. |

| | Study Says Curing Gonorrhoea Can Delay Onset of Aids |
| | Dr Kaul and his colleagues, who included the University of Nairobi's Dr Joshua Kimani and Dr G. Kiama, say that gonorrhoea seems to hasten the progression to full-blown Aids by lowering the function of specialised defence cells called cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, which are a critical component of the body's immune response to HIV. | | | The finding, obtained in studies on a group of 16 prostitutes in the Nairobi slum of Pumwani, could mean that treating sexually active HIV-positive people, such as commercial sex workers (CSW) for gonorrhoea could delay the onset of full-blown Aids. | | | "Clinically, our research seems to indicate that if you institute prevention and treatment among HIV-positive people who are at risk of contracting gonorrhoea, then you can delay their progression to full-blown Aids". |
