Which Neisseria?

R R Willcox, R C Spencer, C Ison

    The British Journal of Venereal Diseases
    |December 1, 1977

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) and meningococcal infections may share risk factors. Oral sex patients showed Neisseria meningitidis in throats more often with genital gonorrhea, suggesting potential susceptibility.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is a serious complication of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
    • Co-infection or shared risk factors between Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are not well understood.

    Observation:

    • Two cases are presented: one with confirmed DGI and another with disseminated-like lesions.
    • Throat cultures from 150 patients with a history of oral sexual intercourse were analyzed.

    Findings:

    • Neisseria meningitidis was isolated from the throat significantly more often in patients with genital gonorrhea.
    • Neisseria gonorrhoeae was found more frequently in patients carrying Neisseria meningitidis in their throat.
    • These findings suggest a potential link between Neisseria species acquisition.

    Implications:

    • Individual susceptibility to Neisseria infections may exist.
    • Further research is warranted to explore shared host factors and transmission dynamics.
    • Understanding these associations could inform public health strategies for STI prevention.
