“…Gonorrhoeal infection can also manifest as a localised septic arthritis and as an arthritis-dermatitis syndrome [3] . Other rare extragenital complications have been described, including perihepatitis, also known as Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS), gonococcal meningitis and infective endocarditis [4] , [5] , [6] .…”

Ophthalmia neonatorum is a microbial contraction, damaging eyesight, occurring largely among neonates. Infants are particularly vulnerable to bacterial infections acquired during birth from infected mothers, especially from Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Over the decades, N. gonorrhoeae is alarmingly developing a resistance to most antibiotics currently prescribed. To counter this challenge, it is imperative to find potent and cost-effective therapeutic agents for prophylaxis and treatment, to which the N. gonorrhoeae cannot easily develop resistance. This review showcases alternate therapies such as antimicrobial-fatty acids, -peptides, -nano-formulations etc., currently evident against N. gonorrhoeae-mediated ophthalmia neonatorum, which remains a major cause of ocular morbidity, blindness and even death among neonates in developing countries.

Gonococcal keratoconjunctivitis is a rare infection most often occurring in the setting of preexisting urethritis. Prompt complete eradication of the infection is vital for the prevention of corneal perforation. The authors present a case of gonococcal keratoconjunctivitis in the setting of untreated urethritis in a 34-year-old male. Given his degree of marginal corneal thinning, the patient was admitted for treatment and required an amniotic membrane graft. The patient returned to baseline following treatment. The authors highlight the role that irrigating the corneal gutter played in the complete eradication of the infection, along with the roles of other treatment modalities, including antibiotics, corticosteroids, and surgical options.
