Resumo: | Introduction: There has been in the last decades an increasing number of reported gonorrhea cases in Europe.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients attending Hospital de Curry Cabral’s STD Clinic between January 2006 and December 2013 (8 years). The screening for Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is performed systematically in all patients (molecular diagnosis technique – BD Probetec-SDA system). The authors assessed epidemiological and socio-demographic data and determined the frequency of N. gonorrhoeae infection.Results: During the reviewed period, out of 1735 patients, gonorrhea was diagnosed in 114 cases (6.6%), 104 men and 10 women, with a median age of 29 years. The diagnosis of gonorrhea was found in 63 men who have sex with men (MSM) and 41 men who have sex with women. Of the totality of patients diagnosed with gonorrhea, 26 were HIV positive (24%). The urogenital site was the most frequent with 103 cases, followed by anorectal in 12 patients and oropharyngeal in 9 patients. Of all these diagnoses, 17% occurred in anatomic sites where patients did not report symptoms (13 men and 5 women).Conclusions: The results of this study were similar to data recently published in the literature. The high number of gonorrhea cases in MSM must be highlighted. In this epidemiological context, the identification of this agent in asymptomatic anatomic sites is not negligible, supporting the importance of extragenital screening. |

O rastreio para a infecção por Neisseria gonorrhoeae é realizado em todos os doentes de forma sistemática através de técnica de diagnóstico molecular (BD Probetec-SDA system). Os autores procederam à caracterização epidemiológica e sociodemográfica bem como determinação da frequência da infecção por N. gonorrhoeae e respectivas localizações.Resultados: Durante o período em análise, num universo de 1735 doentes, foi diagnosticada gonorreia em 114 casos (6,6%), 104 em homens e 10 em mulheres, com uma mediana de idades de 29 anos. O diagnóstico de gonorreia verificou-se em 63 homens que têm sexo com homens (HSH) e 41 homens que têm sexo com mulheres. Dos doentes com diagnóstico de gonorreia, 26 eram seropositivos para o VIH (23%). A localização uro-genital foi a mais frequente, com 103 casos, seguindo-se a infecção do recto em 12 doentes e infecção da orofaringe em 9 doentes. De todos estes diagnósticos, 17% ocorreram em localizações nas quais os doentes não referiram sintomas (13 homens e 5 mulheres).Conclusões: Os resultados deste trabalho foram semelhantes aos dados publicados recentemente na literatura. Salienta-se o elevado número de casos em HSH. Neste contexto epidemiológico, a identificação deste agente em localizações sem queixas não é negligenciável, realçando a importância do rastreio extragenital em doentes assintomáticos nessas localizações.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2015-07-01T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.2.375oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/375Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 73 No 2 (2015): Abril / Junho; 267-273Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 73 n. 2 (2015): Abril / Junho; 267-2732182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/375https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.2.375https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/375/343Mendes-Bastos, PedroToda Brito, HelenaRodrigues, IsauraPina, TeresaFernandes, CândidaRodrigues, AnaCardoso, Jorgeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:53Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/375Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:10:53.054063Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
