Gonococemia diseminada
Nombres alternativos:
Bacteriemia gonocócica
SÃntomas:
- EscalofrÃos
- Fiebre
- Sensación de indisposición general (malestar general)
- Dolor articular
- Inflamación articular
- Dolor en los tendones de las muñecas o de los talones
- Erupción cutánea con manchas planas entre rosado y rojo que progresan a protuberancias elevadas y llenas de pus
La combinación de erupción cutánea, dolor y tendones inflamados algunas veces se conoce como sÃndrome de tenosinovitis-dermatitis.
Signos y exámenes:
La gonorrea a menudo está asociada con la presencia de otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual. Cerca de la mitad de mujeres con gonorrea también están infectadas con clamidia, otra enfermedad de transmisión sexual muy común que puede producir esterilidad. En caso de tener gonorrea, se deben solicitar exámenes para otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual, incluyendo SIDA.
Los cultivos (células que crecen en una caja de Petri) suministran prueba absoluta de una infección de gonorrea. Generalmente, las muestras para un cultivo se toman del cuello uterino, la vagina, la uretra, el ano o la garganta. Los cultivos pueden suministrar un diagnóstico preliminar a menudo dentro de las 24 horas siguientes y un diagnóstico confirmado dentro de 72 horas.
