Overview

Assessment of Needs

The IAS–USA offers this state-of-the-art activity as part of a nationwide continuing education effort for physicians. The rates of gonorrhea continue to increase in the United States as does the extent of gonococcal antimicrobial resistance. In this webinar, we will consider the epidemiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, including the re-emergence of disseminated gonococcal infections, we will discuss the optimal diagnostic approaches, and the emerging therapeutic challenges.

Learning Objectives

On completion of this webinar, learners will be able to:

  • Describe the epidemiology of gonorrhea including drug-resistant gonorrhea
  • Develop an approach that optimizes the diagnosis of urogenital, extragenital, and disseminated gonococcal infections, including infections caused by suspected drug-resistant strains
  • Define the optimal approach to treating gonococcal infections, including infections in penicillin-allergic patients
