Gonorrhea

2023

Source: Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) - OK2SHARE

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is the second most commonly reported STI in Tulsa County. If left untreated, gonorrhea can result in serious and painful infections and may lead to infertility in both men and women. In pregnant women, the infection can be passed to the baby during childbirth, increasing the risk of blindness or life-threatening complications for the infant.

This statistic is expressed as a rate per 100,000 population, based on reported cases in a single year. Zip code level data calculations were performed by the Tulsa Health Department (THD) using raw data from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), Center for Health Statistics (CHS), Health Care Information (HCI), with population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau (census.gov).

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the most commonly reported STI in Tulsa County. Often asymptomatic, chlamydia can still cause significant reproductive health complications if left untreated, particularly for women. When symptoms do occur, they may include abnormal vaginal discharge, penile discharge, and a burning sensation during urination. Chlamydia can also be transmitted from mother to infant during childbirth, potentially leading to eye infections that may cause blindness.
