Resumen

MARTINEZ-VELASCO, Indalecio Gustavo et al. Gonorrhoeae and pregnancy: related to two cases. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.8, pp.662-669.  Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 0300-9041.  https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v89i8.4882.

BACKGROUND:

We report two rare cases of Gonorrhoeae in women pregnancy located in Bartholin and Skene glands. These infections produced severe complications in woman reproductive health and could transmitted to the newborn at birth.

CLINICAL CASES:

First patient; a 19 years old woman on the 27 + 0 week of pregnancy complicated with bartholinitis and labor premature. Microbiologic culture by aspiration show N gonorrhoeae. Second patient: a 24 years old woman on the 34 + 3 week of pregnancy complicated with skeneitis. Microbiologic culture by aspiration show N. gonorrhoeae. Both mothers respond adequally to treatment. Their newborns were asymptomatic.

CONCLUSIONS:

N gonorrhoeae infection in the external genital glands of pregnant women is rare. Perhaps because gonorrhea is a reemerging infection it should be considered. Microbiological confirmation is urgent because the prognosis for both mother and child will depend on it and the surgical treatment and strict follow-up of complications in the mother and her child. The above without neglecting the treatment of the couple. It is essential to be updated in the knowledge of this old infectious disease and its treatment in order to be able to apply measures for its control in the near future.
