Disseminated gonococcal infection is not too rare, and joint involvement is one of its prominent features. Although diagnosis in general is based on clinical findings and microbiological examination of the genitals and sometimes blood, there are cases in which exact diagnosis can only be made after the investigation of synovial effusion. An observation of this kind is presented, and the general value of the aspiration of synovial fluid in disseminated gonococcal infection is discussed. Special interest is also given to the possible coincidence of disseminated gonococcal infection and other sexually transmitted diseases as for example trichomoniasis, both of which were found in our case.
播散性淋球菌感染并不罕见，关节受累是其突出特征之一。虽然一般诊断基于临床症状以及对生殖器有时还包括血液的微生物学检查，但有些病例只有在对滑膜积液进行检查后才能做出准确诊断。本文展示了这样一个观察病例，并讨论了滑膜液抽吸在播散性淋球菌感染中的总体价值。还特别关注了播散性淋球菌感染与其他性传播疾病（如滴虫病）可能同时存在的情况，在我们的病例中二者均被发现。
