There are microorganisms other that gonococcus that may present similar symptomology to that described for gonorrhoea. The most common are Chlamydia Trachomatis (40% of cases) and Ureaplasma Urealyticum (10% of cases) both of which are diagnosed through the culture of secretion or through serology (blood analysis). The incubation period may be 2 to 3 weeks and very often there are no symptoms.
Treatment is undertaken with antibiotics (depending on the microorganism involved) or with metronidazole in the case of trichomonas.
