Gonococcal Prosthetic Joint Infection
Keywords: Gonorrhoea, prosthetic joint infection, gonococcal arthritis, DGI.
Abstract. Neisseria gonorrhoea is a common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Disseminated gonococcal infection is an infrequent presentation and rarely can be associated with septic arthritis. Incidence of this infection is rising, both internationally and in older age groups. We present the first documented case of N. gonorrhoea prosthetic joint infection which was successfully treated with laparoscopic debridement and antimicrobial therapy.
