About this test

Gonorrhea is a purulent infection of the genitourinary system caused by Neisseria

gonorrhoeae. It is one of the most common venereal diseases, and its main manifestations are gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis. Neisseria gonorrhoeae can also spread infection locally through the urethra or cervix, causing epididymitis and pelvic inflammatory disease; it can also cause disseminated gonorrhea through hematogenous transmission. In addition, it can also cause infections of the eyes, pharynx, and rectum; although some patients have been infected by gonorrhea, they have no clinical symptoms and become asymptomatic gonorrhea.

Commonly used laboratory methods for the diagnosis of gonococcal infection are as

follows: Specimen smear staining and direct microscopic examination; Cell culture

method; Antigen detection test, including direct immunofluorescence method and

enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; DNA hybridization and polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) method; Serum antibody detection.

Quick and easy to use

Positive: Red bands appear in both the test area(T) and the quality control area (C). The results show that the samples contain Neisseria gonorrhoeae antigen.

Negative: There is no red band appears in the test area (T), and a red band appears in the quality control area (C). The results show that Neisseria gonorrhoeae antigen is not detected in the samples.

Invalid: There is no red band in the quality control area (C), regardless of whether there is a red band in the test area (T), indicating the test result of the kit is invalid, and it is recommended to retest.
