An Unusual Presentation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: Calf Abscess in an Otherwise Healthy Man

Rebecca Masutani, Christina Yen, Wendy Stead

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Cases of disseminated gonococcal infections are less commonly reported. We present a case of an immunocompetent 46-year-old man who developed a right calf abscess that grew Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This was suspected to have developed from a disseminated gonococcal infection that subsequently seeded a preexisting right calf hematoma.
