Gonococcal Arthritis - Cause - Symptoms - Diagnosis - Treatment
Gonococcal Arthritis is an infectious (septic) type of arthritis that occurs with those infected with gonorrhea. It affects more women than men. Two forms exist, one with skin rashes and multiple joint involvement, and a second form in which disseminated gonococcemia leads to infection of a single joint.

Gonoccocal arthritis is an infection, usually of a single joint, that occurs following infection with gonorrhea. If the strain of bacteria is not antibiotic-resistant, recovery is expected.

Gonococcemia (disseminated)
Gonococcemia (disseminated) is a sexually-transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which spreads from the initial site of infection through the bloodstream to other parts of the body.

What are Reportable diseases?
Reportable diseases or Notifiable diseases are diseases considered to be of great public health importance. Government agencies require them to be reported when they are diagnosed by doctors or laboratories. This permits the collection of statistics on the frequency with which the disease occurs, which in turn allows these agencies to identify trends in disease occurrence and outbreak.
