Details

To inform future diagnosis, management and prevention of DGI in England, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) established a surveillance system to monitor the number of diagnoses and capture the demographic and clinical characteristics of cases.

Microbiologists with a case of DGI are requested to send Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from sterile sites to UKHSA’s Sexually Transmitted Infections Reference Laboratory in Colindale, London.

Clinicians from any health setting with a case of DGI are requested to contact UKHSA via grasp.enquiries@ukhsa.gov.uk
