CUTANEOUS VASCULITIS AS THE SOLE MANIFESTATION OF DISSEMINATED GONOCOCCAL-INFECTION - CASE-REPORT

One of the possible systemic complications of gonorrhoea is disseminat ed gonococcal infection (DGI), which is usually characterised by both skin and joint lesions. While joint involvement ranges from tenosynovi tis to suppurative arthritis, cutaneous involvement features varied no n-specific patterns often clinically and histologically consistent wit h vasculitis. We report a case of DGI in which an extensive, vesicobul lous, haemorrhagic, and necrotic cutaneous vasculitis was the sole man ifestation of the disease.
