Disseminated Gonococcal Infection Caused by a Multidrug-Resistant Pathogen Presenting with Hemorrhagic Manifestation: A Case Report.
The incidence of disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is rising in some parts of the world, but there is paucity of data on its true incidence from sub-Saharan Africa. DGI has varied manifestations in different population group. We report a case of a 30-year-old sexually active woman presenting with hemorrhagic symptoms 2 weeks after a surgery on account of diagnosis of uterine fibroid made at a peripheral hospital. A multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae was isolated from the wound on her surgical site and blood sample. She was managed with intravenous meropenem, pressure dressing, and blood products, with the patient making a full recovery after a week. This case is presented because it is a rare one. Moreover, there is the need to revive the awareness of clinicians on the existence of multidrug-resistant gonococcus in our environment. We herein report a case of DGI from Nigeria.
