Peroneal tenosynovitis following acute gonococcal infection.
A 17-year-old adolescent girl presented with tenosynovitis of the peroneal tendons following diagnosis and treatment of an endocervical gonococcal infection. The need for careful history in any sexually active adolescent is emphasized. Acute peroneal tenosynovitis, although not previously cited in the literature, can occur and should be suspected.
