Disseminated gonococcal infection, a rare cause of arthritis-dermatitis syndrome, presents with migratory joint pain and rash. Early diagnosis and penicillin treatment are crucial for recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is a rare but serious complication of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
  • The arthritis-dermatitis syndrome is a specific clinical manifestation of DGI.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old female presented with migratory arthralgias, fever, generalized rash, and arthritis.
  • Physical examination revealed a maculopapular and pustular rash, left elbow arthritis, and right hand swelling.
  • Synovial fluid culture confirmed Neisseria gonorrhoeae, despite initially negative serology.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation was characteristic of the gonococcal arthritis-dermatitis syndrome.
  • Intravenous penicillin G therapy was effective in resolving the infection.
