Abstract:
According to the 2021 CDC sexually transmitted disease surveillance report, national cases of syphilis and gonorrhea continue to rise. Currently, South Dakota ranks #1 in syphilis and #2 in gonorrhea cases per 100,000 population. The higher incidence increases the likelihood South Dakota clinicians will encounter different presentations of syphilis and gonorrhea. Recently, we have seen patients presenting with acute STI related inflammatory arthritis. This review discusses the acute arthritic presentations associated with gonorrhea and syphilis and its treatment.
