Group Report

The European Collaborative Clinical Group (ECCG) has been surveying clinical management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Europe since its inauguration in 2011. The ECCG is a network of nearly 130 STI specialists from 34 European countries who conduct questionnaire-based research across the European region. The research of ECCG focuses on providing data regarding clinical practice to inform European STI guideline development and revisions. The present paper describes the results of the 2018–19 ECCG survey regarding diagnosis and treatment of gonorrhoea in Europe.

Gonorrhoea is a major public health problem globally. Increasing incidence in many particularly developed countries and the emergence of resistance to the extended-spectrum cephalosporin ceftriaxone, the last option for empiric first-line monotherapy, are of serious concern. This paper evaluates the results of the 2018–19 International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections European Collaborative Clinical Group survey on the diagnosis and treatment of gonorrhoea in Europe. Although high quality clinical care was reported in many European settings, in several countries the testing, diagnostics, antimicrobial treatment, and follow-up of gonorrhoea patients were evidently suboptimal. Increased adherence to evidence-based European and/or nationally-adapted management guidelines is essential in controlling the increasing incidence of gonorrhoea in many European settings and the spread of ceftriaxone-resistant, multidrug-resistant, and extensively drug-resistant gonorrhoea.
