Treatment and Cure Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease that can be treated. The disease can be treated with antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. Some of the antibiotics used to treat gonorrhea are ofloxacin and cetriaxone. Currently, research is being conducted for the use of a vaginal ointment to prevent gonorrhea infection. However, it may take many years before this new medication is proven effective. The best way to fight gonorrhea infection is through prevention through abstinence. If you do decide to be sexually active, make sure to practice safe sex always. Gonorrhea should be treated as soon as diagnosed because it can cause severe consequences. For example, being infected with gonorrhea increases a persons chances of getting HIV. ...

By John Papp, PhD. Chlamydia and gonorrhea infections are common in non-genital sites in some populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM). Be-cause extra-genital infections are common in MSM and most infections are asymptomatic1, routine annual screening of extra-genital sites in MSM is recommended. No recommendations exist regarding routine extra-genital screening in women as studies have focused on genitourinary screening, but rectal and oropharyngeal infections are not uncommon.. In 2003, Kent and colleagues1 performed the first large study looking at NAATs for diagnosing chlamydia and gonorrhea infections in multiple anatomic sites in MSMs. They used Becton Dickinsons ProbeTec NAAT which they had previously validated for such use. Among 6,434 MSM attending an STD clinic or a gay mens clinic, they found the prevalence by site for chlamydia was 7.9% for the rectum, 5.2% urethral, and 1.4% pharyngeal, and prevalence by site for gonorrhea was 6.9% for the rectum, 6% urethral,and 9.2% ...

There is a gonorrhea epidemic in Utah. Since 2011, the number of gonorrhea cases in the state of Utah have increased by about 300 percent for men and by more than 700 percent for women. Most of the cases are in the Wasatch Front, the metropolitan region in the north-central part of the state where about 80 percent of Utahs population resides. Medical professionals are particularly concerned about the huge rise in gonorrhea cases among women. Historically, the increases in gonorrhea cases have been among men who have sex with men, but its clearly affecting many heterosexual individuals in Utah and in other states.. Women who contract gonorrhea might not experience any symptoms for the first few months after they are infected, yet they can spread the disease to others before they know they have it. Women are also at risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, a condition that is very painful and can sterilize a woman.. Many states allocate money to the health department for education, outreach and ...

Infection with Neisseria (N.) gonorrhoeae carries a significant public health burden in the United States (U.S.). Gonococcal infection can result in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and increases the risk of transmission and acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). With over 350,000 cases of gonorrhea reported each year, gonorrhea is the second most common notifiable condition. Furthermore, it is estimated that case reports account for only half of the incident cases of gonorrhea in the U.S. each year. Given that gonorrhea is a bacterial infection which causes symptoms in approximately 90 percent of infected men and 50 percent of infected women, the most critical aspect of reducing the public health burden of gonorrhea for affected populations is provision of effective antimicrobial therapy. In order to identify treatment options for patients with suspect or confirmed cephalosporin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae infection and patients ...

The purpose of this chapter is (i) to review the pathophysiology of gonorrhea during pregnancy, (ii) to summarize epidemiologic data regarding gonorrhea among pregnant women, and (iii) to discuss the manifestations of maternal and infant infections, with special emphasis on principles of prevention and management. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a sexually transmitted bacterium which infects columnar and transitional epithelium of the genitourinary tract, including the urethra, endocervix, and anal canal, and the conjunctivae and pharynx. The majority of pregnant women with gonorrhea are asymptomatic; the proportion of symptomatic patients among pregnant women with gonorrhea has been reported to be as low as 1.2%. Pregnant women who are diagnosed with uncomplicated gonococcal infections or who are the sexual partners of men with gonorrhea should be treated with ceftriaxone (125 mg intramuscularly) in a single dose or with cefixime (400 mg orally) in a single dose. Due to the higher risk of pharyngeal gonorrhea

In 2011 gonorrhea treatment guidelines in Canada (and in the other high-income countries previously mentioned) recommended a switch from single-agent therapy to combination therapy. This change in treatment likely significantly slowed or even decreased the development of gonorrhea with reduced susceptibility to ceftriaxone. However, Canadian researchers have found a worrying trend: Strains of gonorrhea with resistance to azithromycin have been on the increase since 2011.. In 2014 in the UK there was a report of a case of treatment failure with standard doses of ceftriaxone and azithromycin. In Japan, strains of gonorrhea with reduced susceptibility to ceftriaxone are increasing. And in some other countries, strains of gonorrhea with resistance to azithromycin have been reported. In this context, the World Health Organization has predicted that untreatable multidrug-resistant strains of gonorrhea may arise in the future. Although there are some promising experimental antibiotics in development ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no longer recommends the oral antibiotic cefixime as a first-line treatment option for gonorrhea in the United States because of the possibility that the bacteria which causes gonorrhea is becoming resistant to the drug. The change was prompted by recent trends in laboratory data showing that cefixime, marketed under the brand name Suprax, is becoming less effective in treating the sexually transmitted disease.. This change leaves only one recommended drug proven effective for treating gonorrhea, the injectable antibiotic ceftriaxone.. According to the revised guidelines, published today in CDCs Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the most effective treatment for gonorrhea is a combination therapy: the injectable antibiotic ceftriaxone along with one of two other oral antibiotics, either azithromycin or doxycycline.. In the past, gonorrhea has developed resistance to every antibiotic recommended for treatment, leaving the cephalosporins, which ...

Gonorrhea is caused by the bacteria, Neisseria gonorrhea. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that over 700,000 people in the U.S. develop a new gonorrhea infection each year.. Gonorrhea can be spread through contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, anus, and mother to baby during delivery. Ejaculation does not have to occur in order for it to be transmitted or acquired.. Not all people who contract gonorrhea experience symptoms, but an infection can cause serious complications. Men may experience symptoms such as: burning sensation while urinating, white, yellow or green discharge from the penis, and sometimes pain and swelling in the testicles. Some signs of gonorrhea in women may be: discomfort or burning while urinating, increased vaginal discharge, and bleeding between periods. ...

What is gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix (opening to the womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in women and men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus. How common is gonorrhea? Gonorrhea is a very common infectious disease. CDC estimates that more than 700,000 persons in the U.S. get new gonorrheal infections each year. Only about half of these infections are reported to CDC. In 2004, 330,132 cases of gonorrhea were reported to CDC. In the period from 1975 to 1997, the national gonorrhea rate declined, following the implementation of the national gonorrhea control program in the mid-1970s. After a small increase in 1998, the gonorrhea rate has decreased slightly since 1999. In 2004, the rate of reported gonorrheal ...

by APFLI , Mar 11, 2004 , STDs. Gonorrheais caused by the bacteria N.gonorrhea. Approximately 600,000 new cases of this disease are now reported annually with the highest rates among teens [CDC, STD Surveillance,1997]. Gonorrhea can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which renders the female sterile; gonorrhea can also cause sterility in the male. The presence of gonorrhea increases the chances of acquiring the HIV virus, if present. At least 50 percent of female gonorrhea infections have no symptoms [CDC, 1998]. [Excerpts from CDC, MMWR, June 16, 2006 / 53(53);1-79 Summary of Notifiable Diseases - United States, 2004] Gonorrhea Increases in Gonorrhea Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is the second most commonly reported notifiable disease in the United States (1). Gonorrhea increases the risk for pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and acquisition and transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (2). Nationally, reported gonorrhea incidence rates have been ...

As if you needed another reason to practice safe sex, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just updated their guidelines for the treatment of gonorrhea, an sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonorrhea is one of the most common STIs in the United States and we see it fairly regularly here at the Student Health Center. Gonorrhea is a really smart bug - it has become resistant to every medication weve ever used to treat it so weve had to keep coming up with new options. Until now, weve been able to use oral antibiotic (one you take by mouth) to treat it, but sure enough, recent trends have shown that our latest option, Cefixime (Suprax), is starting to become less effective. So now were literally down to our last shot - an injectable antibiotic called Ceftriaxone (Rocephin). According to the new guidelines, if you get gonorrhea you need to get a single shot of Ceftriaxone PLUS an oral antibiotic, either azithromycin ...

This report documents increases in reported gonorrhea cases among all ages, racial/ethnic populations, and both sexes in eight western states during 2000--2005. These increases likely resulted, in part, from increased testing and use of more sensitive tests; however, increases in the number of males with symptomatic gonorrhea, a population that generally seeks medical care spontaneously, suggest that actual increases in gonorrhea morbidity also occurred. National policies promoting increased testing for Chlamydia trachomatis infection might have increased gonorrhea testing through combined screening for both infections; however, such policies are national and would not be expected to produce greater increases in the West than in other regions of the United States. Spread of gonorrhea into high-risk networks, (e.g., methamphetamine users or incarcerated populations) (5,6), reduced disease-control efforts, and changes in the organism (e.g., increasing antibiotic resistance or transmissibility) ...

Gonorrhea, caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is the second most commonly reported STD in Minnesota. In 2011, 2,283 cases (43 per 100,000 population) were reported, representing a 5% increase from 2010. This is the first increase in reported gonorrhea cases since 2007 (Table 3). Adolescents and young adults are at with incidence rates of 159 per 100,000 among 15 to 19-year-olds, 227 per 100,000 among 20 to 24-year olds, and 105 per 100,000 among 25 to 29-yearolds. Gonorrhea rates for males (38 per 100,000) and females (48 per 100,000) are comparable. Communities of color are disproportionately affected by gonorrhea, with nearly one half of cases reported among blacks. The incidence of gonorrhea among blacks (420 per 100,000) is 26 times higher than the rate among whites (16 per 100,000). Rates among Asian/Pacific Islanders (15 per 100,000), Hispanics (37 per 100,000), and American Indians (103 per 100,000) are up to six times higher than among whites. Gonorrhea rates are highest in the cities of ...

Gonorrhea is a bacterium that can cause sterility, arthritis, and heart problems. In women, gonorrhea can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can result in ectopic pregnancy or sterility. During pregnancy, gonorrhea infections can cause premature labor and stillbirth. To prevent serious eye infections that can be caused by gonorrhea, drops of antibiotics are routinely put into the eyes of newborn babies immediately after delivery. More than 600,000 new cases of gonorrhea are reported every year in the U.S.

When people go for either a Chlamydia test or a Gonorrhea test, they always go for a combined Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test.. The main reason for that is that both the tests are quite similar. Additionally, Chlamydia symptoms are very similar to Gonorrhea symptoms, so its only wise to test for both infections together to ascertain the exact type of infection.. This test is called the Nucleic Acid Amplification Test or NAAT. Both Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are caused by bacteria. When somebody is infected with these bacteria, theres supposed to be the presence of the bacteria in the urine sample.. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Test Window Period is generally 3 to 7 days. It means 3 to 7 days after the infection period the detection of the individual bacteria can be done positively. In most of the cases people come for a test much after that, but if youre not among them then its better that you wait for at least 7 to 10 days.. The NAAT test carries out an amplification of the DNA of the bacteria and ...

Gonorrhea, also spelled gonorrhoea, is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonorrhea is a contagious disease which generally occurs due to sexual deviance. Its germs enter the body through penis and infect or swell the urethra, due to which blood and puss are discharged with urine.

Gonorrhea or gonorrhea is a disease that most often occurs in people who are sexually active. In other words, this disease is a disease that can be transmitted through sexual contact. If not treated properly, this acute infection can become chronic and spread to other organs. Well, here is about gonorrhea that you need to know:. Affects Female Fertility. Gonorrhea is one of the many health problems that affect female fertility. This disease is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae or gonococcus. What must be remembered, not only women can contract this bacteria, men also have the same risk. According to the expert, gonococcus bacteria are usually found in the fluid of the penis and vagina from infected people.. These are 4 diseases that can be transmitted through intimate contact. These bacteria attack the cervix (cervix) and fallopian tubes (fallopian tubes), the edges of which can cause problems in the female reproductive system. In addition, the bacteria that cause gonorrhea can also ...

Gonorrhea has been known since ancient times. Its name is from the Greek words for flow of seed, apparently a reference to the genital discharge that is a major symptom. It was not until the nineteenth century, however, that researchers understood the difference between syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, and gonorrhea. The gonorrhea bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae was identified in 1879 by the German biologist Albert Neisser, for whom it was named. During the 1930s and 1940s, antibiotics were found to treat syphilis and gonorrhea effectively. With treatment, fewer people spread the diseases, and the number of cases fell sharply in the United States. But then the numbers began to rise again. Some researchers believe that a change in attitude toward sex during the 1960s and 1970s contributed to this increase, as people became sexually active earlier and with more partners than before. When AIDS became a problem during the 1980s, people began to practice what has come to be known as safer ...

By Steven Reinberg. A vaccine to protect people from the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea may be one step closer to reality, New Zealand researchers report.. Thats welcome news, because gonorrhea appears to be eluding treatment efforts to control the disease. Antibiotics are the only available treatment, but strains of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea have developed, according to U.S. health officials.. Despite efforts, a gonorrhea vaccine with any clinical effect has eluded development for over 100 years, said lead researcher Helen Petousis-Harris, a senior lecturer at the University of Auckland.. Venereal disease is becoming an increasingly serious problem in developing countries. The availability of antibiotics in chemists shops has encouraged self-medication with sub-therapeutic doses and inadequate treatment regimens. At a health centre in Nigeria, a diagnosis of gonococcal urethritis was made in 159 out of 429 men presenting with urethritis. Neisseria gonorrhoeae was cultured in ...

In the trial was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers tested two new antibiotic regimens using existing drugs - injectable gentamicin in combination with oral azithromycin and oral gemifloxacin in combination with oral azithromycin, which successfully treated gonorrhea infections in a clinical trial.. The drugs studied in the trial were Food and Drug Administration-approved and are available in the United States. This is the first clinical trial to evaluate them as combination therapy for gonorrhea.. Researchers found 100 percent effectiveness of the injectable gentamicin/oral azithromycin combination in curing genital gonorrhea infections, and 99.5 percent effectiveness of the oral gemifloxacin/oral azithromycin combination.. Both combinations cured 100 percent of infections of the throat and rectum. However, many trial participants reported adverse effects from the drugs, mostly gastrointestinal ...

Traditionally, gonorrhea was diagnosed with Gram stain and culture; however, newer polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based testing methods are becoming more common.[16][28] In those failing initial treatment, culture should be done to determine sensitivity to antibiotics.[29] Tests that use polymerase chain reaction (PCR, aka nucleic acid amplification) to identify genes unique to N. gonorrhoeae are recommended for screening and diagnosis of gonorrhea infection. These PCR-based tests require a sample of urine, urethral swabs, or cervical/vaginal swabs. Culture (growing colonies of bacteria in order to isolate and identify them) and Gram-stain (staining of bacterial cell walls to reveal morphology) can also be used to detect the presence of N. gonorrhoeae in all specimen types except urine.[30][31] If Gram-negative, oxidase-positive diplococci are visualized on direct Gram stain of urethral pus (male genital infection), no further testing is needed to establish the diagnosis of gonorrhea ...

FRIDAY, Aug. 7, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say a new test can tell which patients with gonorrhea will benefit from treatment with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. The low-cost drug has been out of use amid concern that the bacterium that causes gonorrhea was becoming resistant to it.. In this study, 106 patients identified as having a gonorrhea strain called wild-type gyrA serine were cured with a single dose of ciprofloxacin. A test to screen for that strain has been available for three years, but this is the first time it has been systematically studied in humans, researchers said. Gonorrhea is one of the most common drug-resistant infections worldwide and is becoming harder to treat. Current treatment methods require an antibiotic injection, which is expensive and painful, said lead author Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, a professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. This new test could make it easier and safer to treat gonorrhea ...

Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) and the mostcommon bacterial infection in adults. In the United States, approximately 1 million cases are reported each year, most occurring in people under age 30. In its early stages, the disease may cause no symptoms and therefore can be spread by unsuspecting victims. In females, gonorrhea often remains asymptomatic but can lead to vaginal itching, discharge, or uterine bleeding and other serious complications. An infected woman who gives birth can transmit the disease to her infant, most often resulting in childhood blindness. As a precaution, silver nitrate is administered to the eyes of newborns to prevent this condition. In males, gonorrhea causes infection of the urethra and painful urination. Though not deadly, the disease if untreated can infect other genital organs or the throat. If the infection spreads throughout the blood stream, itcan cause an arthritis dermatitis syndrome.. Gonorrhea was described in early writings from ...

Review question: Cochrane authors reviewed evidence about the effects of self-collected specimens at home compared with specimens collected at clinic on the clinical management of chlamydia and gonorrhoea infections.. Background: Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are common sexually transmitted infections (STI). Management of these infections might be easier to achieve if people can collect specimens at home and send or take them to a laboratory, rather than having to go to a clinic.. Search date: This evidence is up to May 2015.. Study characteristics: We searched the available literature for trials in which people were invited either to collect specimens at home or to attend a clinic for collection of specimens. We found 10 relevant trials in total. Three trials (including 1566 people) provided data to assess the proportion of people who completed testing, diagnosis and treatment. All trials gave information about the percentages of people who took self-collected specimens for detection of chlamydia ...

There were more than 23,800 new cases of gonorrhea. ...

The bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae is what gives humans the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea. And it also takes something: human DNA. Northwestern University researchers report in the journal mBio that theyve found pieces of human DNA in samples of the bacteria.. Gonorrhea is one of very few diseases exclusive to our species, and is one of the oldest recorded diseases in human history. An ancient disease that resembles gonorrheas symptoms is even described in the Bible, according to Hank Seifert, senior author of a paper on the gene transfer. [Popular Science]. Seifert and colleague Mark Anderson looked at 14 different samples of N. gonorrhoeae. Three of them possessed the chunk of human DNA. And they only saw it in the gonorrhea bacteria:. The pair looked for the same human DNA fragment in the genetically related bacterium Neisseria menigitidis, known to cause meningitis. We screened many isolates and it wasnt present, says Seifert. That means the transfer to N. gonorrhoeae ...

Background One component of effective sexually transmitted infections (STIs) control is ensuring those at highest risk of STIs have access to clinical services because terminating transmission in this group will prevent most future cases. Here, we describe the results of a validation study of a clinical prediction rule for identifying individuals at increased risk for chlamydia and gonorrhoea infection derived in Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), against a population of asymptomatic patients attending sexual health clinics in other geographical settings in BC.. ...

Using data from the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project, we studied changes in ciprofloxacin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates in the United States during 2002-2007. Compared with prevalence in heterosexual men, prevalence of ciprofloxacin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae infections showed a more pronounced increase in men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly through an increase in prevalence of strains also resistant to tetracycline and penicillin. Moreover, that multidrug resistance profile among MSM was negatively associated with recent travel. Across the surveillance project sites, first appearance of ciprofloxacin resistance in heterosexual men was positively correlated with such resistance for MSM. The increase in prevalence of ciprofloxacin resistance may have been facilitated by use of fluoroquinolones for treating gonorrhea and other conditions. The prominence of multidrug resistance suggests that using other classes of antimicrobial drugs for purposes other than treating ...

test. Results were returned to the clinic and positives contacted for treatment and partner services. Results: Excluding those done routinely in family planning and the STD clinic, 22,452 gonorrhea and 22,753 Chlamydia tests were performed on urine samples submitted for pregnancy testing in 2008. Of these samples, 1% (183) were found to be positive for gonorrhea and 6% (1,356) for Chlamydia in 2008. Conclusions: As females engage in unprotected sex, they are at risk for not only pregnancy, but also STIs. With 6.7% positivity, it is productive to screen pregnancy urines for gonorrhea and Chlamydia, possibly preventing adverse affects to the babies of those who were pregnant and preventing long term sequelae of these infections.

Antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea is especially insidious for two reasons. One, gonorrhea often doesnt have symptoms, which allows it to jump from one sexual partner to another, the hosts often none the wiser. Two, unless health care providers actually test the bugs DNA, they have no way of knowing whether or not theyre dealing with a drug-resistant strain. This opens up the possibility for treatment failure - and for the antibiotic-resistant bacteria to be further propagated into the community.. The CDC estimates that the United States sees 246,000 cases of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea infections annually - thats about 30 percent of all gonorrhea infections in the country. For now, we seem to be able to cure them with higher doses or different combinations of drugs. So why does antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea deserve the urgent designation? While gonorrhea isnt associated with a body count - unlike other drug-resistant pathogens, which collectively kill at least 23,000 Americans a year - ...

Background: FQ-resistant N. gonorrhoeae strains originated in the 1980s, and subsequently spread through the continental U.S. shortly after 2000. In 2007, the CDC updated the gonorrhea treatment guidelines to no longer include FQ as first-line therapy and recommended monitoring local resistance patterns to guide treatment recommendations. In 2010, guidelines were updated to no longer recommend oral cephalosporins as treatment for gonorrhea. Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County (PHDMC) STD Clinic tested 102 consecutive N. gonorrhoeae isolates for FQ-resistance in 1996, 106 consecutive isolates in 2000, and 286 randomly selected isolates from 2006-2008 to identify susceptibility trends in the region. Method: Since Aug 2011, cultures for N. gonorrhoeae have been collected from male and female patients presenting to the PHDMC STD Clinic. Susceptibility testing was performed on isolates using Etest strips for ceftriaxone (CEF) and ciprofloxacin (CIP). Susceptibility testing for azithromycin ...

Before we go into the details of how this treatment or therapy works it is very important to define what gonorrhea is. Gonorrhea is a contagious bacterial infection, most commonly acquired through sexual contact or sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Generally speaking in men, the disease often infects the urethra (the conduit in the penis that carries urine and sperm) and may spread to. Read more .... ...

The spread of drug-resistant gonorrhea has prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to change the nationwide guidelines for treating that infection. The announcement came in an April 12 conference call with reporters.. But gay men and residents of Hawaii and California will see no changes. Thats because they were ahead of the curve, experiencing some of the first incidence of drug resistance. Treatment recommendations were changed for them in 2004, 2000, and 2002 respectively.. Gonorrhea is the second most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States, with an estimated 700,000 new infections a year, many of which are not diagnosed. If left untreated, it can lead to sterility, or to birth defects in a developing fetus. The associated inflammation puts a person at greater risk for becoming infected with HIV and increases the risk that a person who already has HIV will pass it on to a sexual partner.. Over the years the bacteria has developed resistance to penicillin, ...

The Post cites health officials from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control as saying last June that drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea account for almost one in every ten cases of STDs-more than double the previous years estimates-according to data collected in 2010.. Quoting Gail Bolan, director of the CDCs Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention division, as saying this move is a critical preemptive strike to preserve the last effective treatment option, the Post reports the measures U.S. Health Officials are taking to deter a widespread drug resistant outbreak. In addition to preserving effective methods, the Post says Ms. Bolan believes this halt will give pharmaceutical companies time to develop more treatment options.. Ms. Bolan also told the Post that although an annual 300,000 cases of the disease are reported in the United States, because many people who have gonorrhea do not show symptoms, the actual number is most likely closer to 700,000-thats almost 23 percent ...
