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.
