Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae may occur at any exposed site and typically manifests within 2 to 7 days. Up to 10% of infections in men and 80% in women are asymptomatic. Urethritis, characterized by purulent urethral discharge and dysuria, is the most common manifestation in men. Although women may develop urethritis, cervicitis is more common. Symptoms may include vaginal irritation, discharge, or spotting, particularly with intercourse. Examination reveals a friable cervix, and a mucopurulent endocervical exudate may be present.
