Modern diagnosis and management of gonorrhoea.
Gonorrhoea remains a major global cause of morbidity. Increasingly asymptomatic infection in both women and men is recognized. Diagnosis can be via direct and indirect methods and, despite the development of newer techniques, culture remains the gold standard. The success of antimicrobial treatment depends to some extent upon the site of infection but is particularly influenced by increasing rates of antibiotic resistance.
