[Gonococcal pharyngitis]

A description of a clinical case of oligosymptomatic pharyngitis associated with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is presented. On the example of oligosymptomatic localized gonococcal pharyngitis in a sexually active young man, included in the risk group for extragenital forms of sexually transmitted infections, an advantage has been shown molecular biological diagnostic method. Study of the spectrum of microflora of the oropharynx and urethra with assessment sensitivity to antibacterial drugs of representatives of the genus Neisseria isolated during mixed infection oropharynx, demonstrated that non-pathogenic Neisseria species are resistant to cephalosporins III-IV generations. Unrecognized forms of oropharyngeal gonococcal infection, as a consequence of the complications of clinical and diagnostic identification when patients refer to an otolaryngologist or dermatovenerologist, can serve a reservoir of resistant N. gonorrhoeae and a source of intractable gonococcal infection.
