| Gonorrhea |
| Gonococcal pharyngitis and
Gram-stained diplococci |
| This
disease is caused by the gonococcus Neisseria
gonorrehoeae which attacks the mucosa of the genitourinary
tract producing urethritis, vulvovaginitis, cervicitis and other
complications.Orally, gonorrhea is sometimes seen in the newborn
due to infection as the child travels through the birth canal;
others through autoinoculation and in adults through oro-genital
sexual relations. In
the mouth and pharynx one can find, after 1 to 3 days of incubation,
a flu-like stomatitis or pharyngitis, with lemon yellow colored
pseudomembranous exudate present.
Secretions, as well as bleeding, are also present in the
gingival. The disease
may pass inadvertently in the mouth and pharynx
