What patterns of arthritis are associated with gonorrhea?

| Tenosynovitis | 67% |
| Purulent arthritis | 42% |
| Monoarthritis | 32% |
| Polyarthritis | 10 |
An important diagnostic clue is tenosynovitis.
It most commonly affects the dorsum of wrists, fingers, toes, and ankles.
The pain is often out of proportion to what is seen on physical examination. Patients should also be examined for meningitis and endocarditis.
