- In the period from 1975 to 1997, the national gonorrhea rate declined, following the implementation of the national gonorrhea control program in the mid-1970s.
- After a small increase in 1998, the gonorrhea rate has decreased slightly since 1999.
- In 2012, global prevalence of gonorrhea was estimated 78 million new cases.
Developed Country
- Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported notifiable disease in the United States. [1]
- In the United States, CDC estimates more than 300,000 reported cases of gonorrhea per year, yet CDC estimates 820,000 new infections may actually occur each year.[2]
Gender
- In 2012, the global prevalence of gonorrhea among women aged 15–49 years was estimated to range from 600 to 1,000 cases per 100,000 individuals.
- In 2012, the global prevalence of gonorrhea among men was estimated to range from 400 to 900 cases per 100,000 individuals.
