Gonococcal Infection in South Australia
Gonococcal Infection 01/01/00 - 30/09/00
During the third quarter of 2000, 48 cases of
gonorrhoea were reported, (Table 5.1) compared with an average of 40
notifications for the years 1995-1999.
Of the 48 cases of gonococcal infection, 32 (67%) cases were detected
in males, and 16 (33%) in females.
In females, 94% of infections occurred in those under
thirty years of age. In males, infection was more evenly distributed
across age groups with the majority in the 20-34 year group for this
quarter.
Seventeen (53%) males with gonococcal infection
reported male-to-male sexual contact. In both males and females, the
majority of infections were acquired in South Australia (77%). The racial
origin was reported as Aboriginal in all female cases; in males, 72% of
cases were Caucasian.
