- Causes gonorrhea
Epidemiology
- Resistance
- About 50% resistance to fluoroquinolones
- Rates of MDR gonorrhea is increasing in Canada, mostly driven by azithromycin resistance[1]
- XDR gonorrhea is still rare in Canada
Clinical Presentation
Anorectal gonorrhea
- Often asymptomatic
- Can cause anorectal pain, discharge, and pruritis
- Anal intercourse not required, especially in women
Diagnosis
- Resistance
- MDR gonorrhea: resistance to one of azithromycin or a cephalosporin
- XDR if resistance to both azithromycin and a cephalosporin
