Inflammation of the joints of the body resulting from gonorrheal infection.
Arthritis, often with tenosynovitis and/or rash, caused by gonococcal infection. The joints of the knees, wrists, and hands are most commonly affected. The disease may affect any sexually active person and may follow infection of a mucous membrane by gonorrhea. This presentation of gonorrhea is usually called “disseminated gonococcal infection” (DGI).
