Gonorrhea cases hit record high as STIs soar in Europe.
Cases of syphilis and gonorrhoea rose significantly from 2022 to 2023.
#Gonorrhoea getting more drug-resistant and ‘may become untreatable’ - https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/15/gonorrhoea-getting-more-drug-resistant-and-may-become-untreatable "Most of those affected were in their 20s, heterosexual, and acquired the infection abroad, though some had no travel history"
R to @ECDC_EU: A total of 70 881 confirmed cases of #gonorrhoea were reported in 28 EU/EEA countries in 2022, representing a 48% increase over 2021.
The notification rate for the EU/EEA in 2022 is the highest recorded since European surveillance of #STIs began in 2009.

R to @ECDC_EU: Data from our latest report shows isolates resistant to #ceftriaxone – the recommended antibiotic for treating #gonorrhoea. These strains also displayed extensive drug resistance (XDR) and multidrug resistance (MDR), further limiting treatment options.
