简介：AbstractGonorrhea is one of the main sexually transmitted diseases in China. It mainly affects the genitourinary tract, and its clinical manifestations vary from asymptomatic to complicated types. The diagnosis of gonorrhea should be based on the patient’s epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, and laboratory examination results. Treatment should be prompt and standardized and should involve the recommended treatment regimens. Patients should be appropriately followed up after treatment. The antimicrobial resistance of gonococcal isolates has become a severe problem of clinical concern. In order to provide technical guidance of the diagnosis and treatment of gonorrhea for health care workers, the authors developed the guidelines based on the version of 2014, which will be of important in the standardizing medical care of gonorrhea, and further facilitating control and prevention of the disease.

简介：AbstractObjective:To describe the epidemiological characteristics of leprosy in China in 2018 and provide the essential evidences for leprosy control.Methods:We collected data of leprosy cases nationwide from Leprosy Management Information System in China (LEPMIS) except Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. And then we performed a descriptive and comparative analysis.Results:A total of 521 new leprosy cases were detected nationwide in 2018, with a case detection rate of 0.037/100,000. The proportion of children under 15 years of age, multi-bacillary (MB) cases, and cases with WHO grade 2 disability (G2D) were 1.3%, 89.4%, and 19.0%, respectively. There were 2,479 registered cases of leprosy in China by the end of 2018, accounting for a prevalence rate of 0.178/100,000, with 43 replase cases. Southwest China separately accounted for 312/521 (59.9%) newly detected cases and 1,180/2,479 (47.6%) registered cases of leprosy in China.Conclusion:China is a low endemic country for leprosy and the detection rate was much lower than the global average. Southwest China is still the key regions for leprosy control, including Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. In addition, leprosy in low endemic provinces also needs to be focused.
