According to WHO estimates, Neisseria gonorrhoeae accounted for illion infections in 2008, a number of cases approximately matching those of Chlamydia infections. Gonococcal infections thus represent one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases worldwide, second only to trichomonas vaginalis infections.This guideline aims to improve patient care by optimizing the diagnosis and treatment of infections due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae and to raise awareness among medical professionals of current treatment options.
