Rise in super-strength cases in England reaches highest level since records began, UKHSA says
Gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, and could be untreatable in the future, health officials have warned as a report reveals a rise in super-strength cases in England.
There were 85,000 cases of gonorrhoea diagnosed in England last year, the highest level since records began in 1918. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.
