Abstract

We reported a case of gonococcal abscess in the prepuce not accompanied with urethritis. As initial therapy fluoroquinolone was ineffective, the abscess spread to the subcutaneous tissue around the penile root. After intravenous administration of cefodizime, the clinical symptoms improved, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was eradicated.
