Abstract

Gonorrhea is a common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI), and in many countries (such as the United Kingdom), it is second only to chlamydial infection (1) . In many industrialized countries, the epidemiology of gonorrhea has changed in the last 15–20 yr. After the advent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in 1984, there was a rapid decline in the number of cases of STIs, including gonorrhea, reaching a trough in 1990–1991. This decline was followed initially by small increases in the number of cases, which has been sustained with significant increases in STIs in the last 5 yr (1) . These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
