Clinical Study on Gonococcal Infection of the Penile Raphe

Conclusion: Gonococcal infection of the penile raphe is a rare, atypical type of involvement of the male urogenital tract byNeisseria gonorrhoeae. It may be a local complication of urethral gonorrhea or an independent primary infection. The proximal end, distal end, and median aspect of the penile raphe can be infected byN. gonorrhoeae. Cutaneous lesions present as abscesses, ulcers, nodules, and sinus-like lesions. Ceftriaxone is effective, but sinus-like lesions require surgery.Urol Int
