    Pregnancy complicated by gonorrhea increases risks for mothers and infants, including chorioamnionitis and prematurity. Gonorrhea in pregnancy requires careful management due to potential recurrence and need for intensive treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection that can complicate pregnancy.
    • Untreated gonorrhea during pregnancy poses risks to both the mother and the developing fetus.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of gonorrhea on pregnancy outcomes.
    • To assess the incidence of complications in pregnant patients with gonorrhea.
    • To evaluate treatment outcomes and recurrence rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 178 pregnant patients with gonorrhea over an eight-year period.
    • Comparison with matched control groups without gonorrhea.
    • Analysis of pregnancy complications, including chorioamnionitis, intrauterine growth retardation, premature rupture of membranes, and prematurity.

  • Monitoring of gonorrheal culture results and treatment responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients with pregnancy gonorrhea showed a higher incidence of chorioamnionitis and intrauterine growth retardation compared to controls.
    • In patients with positive gonorrheal cultures at delivery, there was a significant increase in premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, and prematurity.
    • Recurrence or persistence of positive cultures occurred in 18% of cases.
    • Two patients required hospitalization for intensive parenteral treatment due to unsuccessful outpatient management.

    Conclusions:

    • Gonorrhea significantly increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including chorioamnionitis and prematurity.
    • Effective management and follow-up are crucial to prevent recurrence and ensure successful treatment in pregnant patients with gonorrhea.
    • Early detection and treatment are vital to mitigate complications associated with gonorrhea in pregnancy.
