Cases were also reported in travellers to Israel and Singapore. The UK saw further cases in 2019 and 2021.In June 2022, the World Health Organization announced that it would find a new name for the disease, in line with its policy to avoid misleading associations with specific regions or animals.On 31 July 2022, the first death from monkeypox was recorded in India: a 22-year-old man who had returned from the UAE died.

Risk Factors
Infection with certain strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Prolonged infection
Female sex (due to asymptomatic infection, and therefore prolonged infection)
Sexual promiscuity
Immune system deficiencies
Infection during menstruation, pregnancy, or in the puerperium period

Symptoms
Fever
Migratory arthralgias
Hemorrhagic pustules
Tenosynovitis
Rarely headache, neck stiffness, and visual changes (associated with meningitis)

Treatment
Treatment typically consists of cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Gonococcemia is typically treated with intravenous or intramuscular cephalosporin antibiotics. Approximately 10-30% of gonorrheal infections present with a co-infection of chlamydia, so it is common to add a one-time dose of oral azithromycin or doxycycline for coverage of Chlamydia trachomatis. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is increasingly common in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, so it is often advised to check susceptibility of the bacterial culture and then adjust the antibiotic therapy as needed. Pathogenesis
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is transmitted during sexual contact with an infected individual. The bacteria invade the non-ciliated columnar epithelium of the urogenital tract, oral mucosa, or anal mucosa following exposure. Invasion of the host cells is made possible due to virulence factors such as Pili, LOS, Opa, and others. Similarly, these virulence factors can be used for avoiding the host immune system, which may explain prolonged infection, bacterial resistance, and gonococcemia. See also
