AB A  commonly  reported  infectious  disease  in  the  United  States,  gonorrhea  is  sexually  transmitted  and  principally  affects  adolescents  and  young  adults.  Infants  can  be  infected  by  passage  through  an  infected  birth  canal.  Children  can  acquire  the  disease  through  sexual  play,  molestation,  and  sexual  abuse.  The  principal  manifestation  of  the  uncomplicated  infection  is  a  urethral  or  vaginal  discharge;  however,  localized  infections  of  the  fallopian  tubes,  joints,  conjunctiva,  and  anus,  as  well  as  disseminated  infection,  can  occur.
