Abstract

Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is an uncommon complication ofNeisseria gonorrhoeaeinfection, its manifestation varies from a classic arthritis-dermatitis syndrome to uncommon pyogenic infections of several organs. Herein, we reported atypical presentation of DGI with subcutaneous abscess of right knee, pyomyositis of right lower extremity, and subsequently complicated byEscherichia colipyomyositis. This infection responded to appropriate antimicrobial therapy and prompt surgical management with good clinical outcome.
