Characterized by Urethritis and Cervicitis
Urethritis can result from infectious and noninfectious conditions.
Symptoms: discharge of mucopurulent or
purulent material, dysuria, or urethral pruritis. N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis are clinically important infectious causes of urethritis.
If clinic-based diagnostic tools (Gram stain microscopy) are not available,
patients should be treated for both gonorrhea and chlamydia.
