SH23182Time trends in positive gonorrhoea diagnoses at the Christchurch Sexual Health Service (2012–2022): a data audit study
Gonorrhoea incidence is rising, and international studies have found that extragenital gonorrhoea positivity has increased at a faster rate than urogenital positivity among men who have sex with men. Data about extragenital gonorrhoea infection in New Zealand is lacking. Using data from a sexual health service, this study shows that extragenital infection is common, occurs without urogenital infection at high rates, and has increased at a faster rate than urogenital infection among males, highlighting the importance of extragenital sampling.
