Summary
Reports counts and rates per 100,000 of gonorrhea diagnoses. This sexually transmitted disease (STD) is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Infections can occur in the genitals, rectum, and throat. It is a very common infection, especially among young people ages 15-24 years. Gonorrhea is transmitted by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has gonorrhea. Gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics and cured. Untreated gonorrhea can cause serious and permanent health problems in both women and men. Note that trends in rates of reported cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea are influenced by changes in incidence of infection, as well as changes in diagnostic, screening, and reporting practices. The CDC collects, analyzes, and disseminates surveillance data on STD diagnoses. Data provided here are sourced from CDC's NCHHSTP AtlasPlus based on case report data submitted from all 50 states, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories. The sum of cases by county may not equal the total case count due to missing information. Cases of a given STD refer to confirmed diagnoses during a given time period. For example, the 2012 data on gonococcal infection would include persons with laboratory-confirmed Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection diagnosed between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and reported to CDC through July 7, 2013. Rates per 100,000 population are based on U.S. Census Bureau population estimates.
