STI | Gonorrhea | Clinical Medicine

Premium Member Resources: https://ninjanerd.org Ninja Nerds! In this lecture, Zach Murphy breaks down Gonorrhea with a clear, high-yield approach focused on recognition, diagnosis, and management. This video builds a practical framework for understanding how Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes disease, spreads between patients, and leads to both localized and disseminated infection. We begin with microbiology and transmission, emphasizing the characteristics of this gram-negative diplococcus, common modes of sexual transmission, and the mechanisms the organism uses to evade the immune system and infect mucosal surfaces. Next, the lecture covers clinical presentation, focusing on urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, epididymitis, pharyngitis, and proctitis. You will also learn to recognize asymptomatic infection and the major complications associated with untreated disease. The session then focuses on diagnosis and complications, including nucleic acid amplification testing, Gram stain findings, culture indications, and important complications such as disseminated gonococcal infection, septic arthritis, infertility, and neonatal conjunctivitis.
