“…Our data also support recent observations by Grabar, Sanford, and Ziff (1960), that females are more commonly affected than males in contrast to the pre-antibiotic era when men with gonococcal arthritis often outnumbered women by as much as three to one (Wehrbein, 1929;Lees, 1932;Keefer and Spink, 1937).…”

“…Isolates were pan-susceptible to antibiotics, and genome analysis revealed no mutations associated with antibiotic resistance. 7,[23][24][25][26][27] In contrast, ST-3671 clade B isolates were erythromycin resistant, and some also exhibited resistance to tetracycline.…”

Disseminated Gonococcal Infections (DGI) in Manitoba, Canada: 2013 to 2020

Background: Gonorrhea, when left untreated, can enter the blood and cause disseminated gonococcal infections (DGIs). Disseminated gonococcal infections, which can include dermatitis, tenosynovitis, migratory polyarthralgia, and arthritis, have been increasing in Manitoba (MB), Canada, since 2013. Endocarditis, a rare DGI, was identified in 3 MB patients in 2018 and 2019.Methods: Antimicrobial resistance, molecular types, and resistance-associated mutations were determined for MB DGI isolates (n = 103) identified from 2013 to 2020 using phenotypic and genotypic methods. Neisseria gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing (NG-MAST) of residual nucleic acid amplification testing samples (n = 13) from 2019 and 2020 were also determined. Results:The increase in DGI in MB in 2019 and 2020 was due to the NG-MAST 11508 molecular type with porB-2206, a persistent PorB protein structure type "A" allele. These isolates had low-level resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline.Conclusions: Molecular surveillance of gonorrhea and, in particular, gonococcal strains resulting in DGI is imperative to monitor clonal transmission within populations. These data can be used to alert public health of emerging issues and support public health interventions.

“…of the patients with gonococcal arthritis were female, and Grabar, Sanford, and Ziff (1960), who first emphasized this alteration in sex incidence, also noticed that a relatively high proportion of the males who were affected were homosexual. Many of the female patients were either pregnant (Taylor, Bradford, and Patterson, 1966;Parker and Shingleton, 1967;Niles and Lowe, 1966) or were having a menstrual period at the time of the onset of the arthritis.…”
