AB  - A  6-day-old  girl  is  admitted  to  the  hospital  because  of  profuse  yellowish  drainage  from  both  eyes.  The  infant  was  born  at  home  after  a  36-week  gestation  age  to  an  18-year-old  mother.  Maternal  screens  were  not  obtained  during  pregnancy  due  to  poor  prenatal  care.  On  exam,  the  infant  had  profuse  purulent  drainage  from  both  eyes  with  significant  eyelid  edema  (Figure  72-1).  Gram  stain  of  the  purulent  drainage  revealed  gram-negative  diplococci,  consistent  with  Neisseria  gonorrhoeae  infection  (Figure  72-2).  Blood  and  cerebrospinal  fluid  cultures  were  negative.  The  infant  was  treated  with  one  dose  of  intravenous  ceftriaxone  and  frequent  eye  irrigations  and  recovered  completely.
