Gonococcemia associated with adult respiratory distress syndrome
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1991Co-Authors: Melvin E Belding, Jerome CarboneAbstract:: We report a case of Gonococcemia that was associated with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To our knowledge, this is only the third reported case of ARDS associated with Gonococcemia. This is the first reported case of ARDS associated with Gonococcemia that was documented by positive results of blood cultures and measurements of wedge pressure obtained by a catheter in the pulmonary artery. We also believe that this is the first reported patient who required mechanical ventilation under positive end-expiratory pressure. This patient made a full recovery. Gonococcemia associated with ARDS continues to occur rarely in patients despite the prevalence of disseminated gonococcal infection. The reason for the infrequent occurrence of ARDS with disseminated gonococcal infection remains uncertain.

risks of novel therapeutics Gonococcemia in an immune suppressed patient receiving eculizumab
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2017Co-Authors: Aditi Khandelwal, Julie Wright, Katerina Pavenski, Linda R TaggartAbstract:KEY POINTS A 23-year-old woman presented to a hemodialysis appointment with a one-day history of fever and rigours. Blood cultures grew Gram-negative diplococci, raising concern for Neisseria species bacteremia. The patient’s previous medical diagnoses included systemic lupus erythematosus with

Gonococcemia mimicking a lupus flare in a young woman
Lupus, 2014Co-Authors: M Dutertre, D Tomasevic, Y Guillermin, S Durupt, C Grange, S Debarbieux, E Martin, I DurieuAbstract:Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection, which can present as the ‘arthritisdermatitis syndrome’. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus often develop disseminated neisserial infections, because of inherited and acquired complement deficiencies. Neisserial infection, and particularly Gonococcemia, can mimic a lupus flare. We report one case of Gonococcemia presenting as acral papulo-vesiculous lesions of the digits in a young woman with lupus. Lupus (2014) 23, 81–83.
