ABSTRACT
In women, the most common site of infection is the cervix. In almost 50% of women, infection may be asymptomatic. Vaginal pruritus may be reported and/or a mucopurulent discharge may be observed. In contradistinction to what is seen in men, anorectal infection and proctitis may be seen concurrently with cervical or urethral gonorrhea. Gonococcal infection may progress to PID in a minority of cases. PID occurs in 10-40% of cases in women and may be the presenting manifestation of disease4-6.
