Over time, the bacteria that cause gonorrhea can spread to the bloodstream and other parts of the body. This can lead to a serious medical condition known as systemic gonococcal infection, also known as disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI).
DGI occurs when the STD, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, invades the bloodstream and spreads to distant sites in the body. Infection leads to clinical manifestations like septic arthritis, polyarthralgia, tenosynovitis, petechial/pustular skin lesions, bacteremia, or, on rare occasions, endocarditis or meningitis.
