[Arthritis without urethritis: remember gonococcus].

INTRODUCTION: Septic arthritis caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae is mono or pauciarticular. They represent a nonrare cause of arthritis in sexually active adults. He is necessary to think of it even in the absence of urethritis. EXEGESIS: We report the case of gonococcal arthritis without urethritis in a young man associated with positive synovial fluid culture and negative blood cultures. CONCLUSION: Prompt recognition and treatment of this disease results in cure without aftereffects. The finding of penicillin-resistant organisms reinforces recent recommendations that advanced-generation cephalosporin must be used as initial therapy.
