Abstract: The recent history of gonorrhea treatment in Russia is discussed here after three case histories. Some outdated methods of topical treatment and provocation, not used in other countries, are described. Being informed of the lengthy and unpleasant treatment, high-risk groups avoided the prevention and treatment centers (so-called dermato-venerological dispensaries) and practiced self-treatment, which contributed to the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STI). Today there are grounds for optimism: diagnostics and treatment of STI are being adjusted to the international standards. In conclusion, the antimicrobial resistance of N. gonorrhoeae is briefly discussed.
Keywords: Gonorrhea, sexually transmitted infections, sexual coercion, medical ethics. Read more
