1 Infectious Diseases Protocol Appendix A: Disease-Specific Chapters Chapter: Gonorrhoea Revised January 2014
2 Gonorrhoea Communicable Virulent Health Protection and Promotion Act, Section 1 (1) Health Protection and Promotion Act: Ontario Regulation 558/91 Specification of Communicable Diseases Health Protection and Promotion Act: Ontario Regulation 559/91 Specification of Reportable Diseases 1.0 Aetiologic Agent Causative agent is the Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae), a gram-negative diplococcus, commonly known as gonococcus Surveillance Case Definition See Appendix B 1.2 Outbreak Case Definition The outbreak case definition varies with the outbreak under investigation. Consideration should be given to the provincial surveillance case definition and the following criteria when establishing an outbreak case definition: 1. Clinical, laboratory and/or epidemiological criteria; 2. The time frame for occurrence; 3. A geographic location(s) or place(s) where cases live or became ill/exposed; and, 4. Special attributes of cases (e.g., age, underlying conditions). Outbreak cases may be classified by levels of probability (i.e., confirmed, probable and/or suspect). 2.0 Identification 2.1 Clinical Presentation Many cases are asymptomatic. 2 In males the most common presenting symptom is a painful purulent urethral discharge; dysuria and frequency as well as redness, itching and swelling of urethra. 1 Females present with initial urethritis or cervicitis, frequently mild which can go unnoticed; abnormal vaginal discharge and post-coital bleeding may occur and then the infection can progress to pelvic inflammatory disease. 1 Pharyngeal and anorectal infections can occur among those engaging in oral and anal sex respectively. 1 If symptoms are present in rectal infections individuals often display rectal discharge and pain. 2
3 Can present as conjunctivitis (Ophthalmia neonatorum) in infants. 1 For more information regarding gonococcal conjunctivitis in infants, please refer to the Ophthalmia neonatorum Disease-Specific Chapter. 2.2 Diagnosis See Appendix B for diagnostic criteria relevant to the Case Definitions. For further information about human diagnostic testing, contact the Public Health Ontario Laboratories or refer to the Public Health Ontario Laboratory Services webpage: px 3.0 Epidemiology 3.1 Occurrence Worldwide; affects predominantly sexually active adolescents and younger adults. 1 In Ontario, gonorrhea is a commonly reported STI. Rates of gonorrhea are higher among males compared to females, and have been rising. Reported rates are highest among males years of age and among females years of age. Between 2007 and 2011, an average of 3907 gonorrhea cases was reported each year. 3, 4 Multi-drug resistance in N. gonorrhoeae has been an ongoing concern. Currently, resistance patterns are threatening the ability to successfully treat N. gonorrhoeae infections with single-dose oral antibiotics. By 2013 in Ontario, there have been at least nine documented cases of clinical failures associated with the oral cefixime to treat gonorrhea. 5 For further information regarding multi-drug resistant gonorrhea please refer to the Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current). 6 For more information on infectious diseases activity in Ontario, refer to the current versions of the Ontario Annual Infectious Diseases Epidemiology Reports and the Monthly Infectious Diseases Surveillance Report. 3, Reservoir Humans Modes of Transmission Sexual contact via oral, vaginal, cervical, urethral or anal routes; in children, consider the 1, 2, 6 possibility of sexual abuse; newborns: during delivery from infected mother. 3.4 Incubation Period In individuals who display symptoms, the incubation period is usually 1-14 days Period of Communicability May extend for months if untreated; effective treatment usually ends communicability within hours. 1 3
4 3.6 Host Susceptibility and Resistance General susceptibility. When considering re-infection, primary treatment failure and inadequate treatment please consider the following factors: Appropriate treatment provided considering Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current); 6 Treatment adherence; Necessary follow up completed ( i.e. test of cure undertaken if recommended); Avoidance of sexual exposure during treatment period and 7 days post treatment. For surveillance purposes, if the above factors are met health units may consider 28 days for re-infection. 4.0 Reporting Requirements 4.1 To local Board of Health Individuals who have or may have gonorrhea shall be reported to the medical officer of health by persons required to do so under the Health Protection and Promotion Act, R.S.O (HPPA). 7 Refer to the Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevention and Control Protocol, 2008 (or as current) for reporting requirements and data collection requirements. Refer to the Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current) for reporting of gonorrhea clinical failures To the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (the ministry) or Public Health Ontario (PHO), as specified by the ministry Report only case classifications specified in the case definition. Cases shall be reported using the integrated Public Health Information System (iphis), or any other method specified by the Ministry within five (5) business days of receipt of initial notification as per iphis Bulletin Number 17: Timely Entry of Cases and Outbreaks. 8 The minimum data elements to be reported for each case is specified in the following: Ontario Regulation 569 (Reports) under the HPPA; 9 The disease-specific User Guides published by PHO; and, Bulletins and directives issued by PHO. Refer to the Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current) for reporting of gonorrhea clinical failures. 6 4
5 5.0 Prevention and Control Measures 5.1 Personal Prevention Measures Preventative measures include education about safer sex practices including use of condoms and early detection of infection by screening those at risk. 2 Refer to Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevention and Control Protocol, 2008 (or as current), and the Canadian Guidelines on Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2008 (or as current). 2 For screening and testing recommendations please refer to the Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current) Infection Prevention and Control Strategies Refer to Public Health Ontario s website at to search for the most up-to-date Provincial Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee (PIDAC) best practices on Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC). PIDAC best practice documents can be found at: AC_Documents.aspx. 5.3 Management of Cases Case management should consider the PIDAC Sexually Transmitted Infections Case Management and Contact Tracing Best Practice Recommendations, April 2009 (or as current). 10 Treatment as per attending health care provider; refer to the Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current) for treatment and follow up recommendations. 6 Refer to Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevention and Control Protocol, 2008 (or as current), Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current), 6 and PIDAC Sexually Transmitted Infections Case Management and Contact Tracing Best Practice Recommendations, April 2009 (or as current) Management of Contacts Contact management of cases should be guided by the Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevention and Control Protocol, 2008 (or as current), Guidelines for Testing and Treatment of Gonorrhea in Ontario, 2013 (or as current), 6 and PIDAC Sexually Transmitted Infections Case Management and Contact Tracing Best Practice Recommendations, April 2009 (or as current) Management of Outbreaks Consult with Public Health Ontario if an outbreak of gonorrhea is suspected. 5
