Gonococcal infections are typically asymptomatic in women until complications such as [[Pelvic inflammatory disease|PID]] develop. Women with gonococcal infection may present with [[Mucopurulent discharge|mucopurulent]] [[urethral]], [[cervical]] or [[vaginal]] discharge; friable appearance of the cervix; and cervical motion tenderness. Common physical examination findings of gonococcal infection among men include [[Mucopurulent discharge|mucopurulent]] urethral discharge. Less commonly penile edema, and epididymal tenderness and edema ([[epididymitis]]) may also be seen as a part of complicated gonococcal infection.

Overview

Women with gonococcal infection usually appear to be well until complications such as PID develop. Physical examination of women with gonococcal infection is usually remarkable for mucopurulent urethral, cervical, or vaginal discharge; friable appearance of the cervix; and cervical motion tenderness. One common physical examination finding of gonococcal infection in men is mucopurulent urethral discharge. Less commonly, penile edema and epididymal tenderness and edema (epididymitis) may also be observed as part of complicated gonococcal infection.[1][2][3]

Physical examination of patients with pharyngeal gonococcal infection is usually remarkable for mild pharyngeal exudates and rectal gonococcal infection is usually remarkable for mucopurulent anal discharge. Physical examination of patients with disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is usually remarkable for fever, pustular or vesicular rash, and musculoskeletal findings.[1][4]

Physical examination

Common urogenital and extragenital Infection

The most common site of gonococcal infection is the urethra, endocervix, rectum, and pharynx. Physical examination of patients with gonococcal infection is usually remarkable for:

Type of Gonococcal Infection Physical Examination
Urogenital infection in men[2]
  • Mucopurulent urethral discharge
  • Bull-headed clap (penile edema)
  • Unilateral epididymal tenderness and edema (epididymitis)
Urogenital infection in women:[1][3][5][6][7][8]
Proctitis[9]
Pharyngitis[10][11]
Conjunctivitis

Disseminated Gonococcal Infection

Dissemination gonococcal infection usually can result in two clinical syndromes:[4][12][13]

Other, less common manifestations of disseminated gonococcal infection include:

Physical examination of patients with disseminated gonococcal infection is usually remarkable for:[1][4]

Disseminated Gonococcal Infection Organ systems
General Appearance
  • Fever (usually less than 39°C)
  • Chills
  • Generalized malaise

Note: Occurs in the acute phase of infection

Skin
Eye
  • Conjunctivitis
    • Conjunctival injection
    • Purulent eye discharge
    • Periorbital edema
Musculoskeletal

Note: purulent arthritis may be abrupt onset of monoarthritis or oligoarthritis without skin lesions and fever

  • Tenosynovitis
    • Erythema along a tendon sheath
    • Local tenderness along a tendon sheath
    • Painful active or passive range of motion

Note: most commonly occurs in hands and less commonly lower extremities

Central Nervous System
Cardiac
