CONCORD, NH (WGME) – New Hampshire is experiencing an outbreak of gonorrhea.
According to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, gonorrhea is a reportable sexually transmitted disease (STD), and the number of cases in New Hampshire has been increasing over the last year.
Between 2007 and 2013 there were on average approximately 130 cases per year of gonorrhea reported in New Hampshire.
NH DHHS says it received 465 reports of cases of gonorrhea contracted in 2016, which represents a more than 250% increase over the previous baseline.

Given that women tend to experience few or no symptoms when infected, the possibility of those infections spreading unchecked over the course of 2016 coupled with rising drug resistance and foundering public health services, could have placed the state in a susceptible position for the infection’s spread in the following year.
As evidence of an outbreak grew, the DPHS warned that more than one in every four (28%) gonorrhea cases reported were not treated correctly with a dual therapy of ceftriaxone and azithromycin to counter potentially drug-resistant strains. They also noted that infections were largely concentrated in four NH counties: Merrimack, Rockingham, Strafford, and Hillsborough. “Those most impacted by gonorrhea have been males under 40 years of age, and those residing in Hillsborough County,” a NHDPHS spokesperson said in a public health alert.
Brian Katowitz, a CDC spokesman for the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB prevention, told Contagion®, “It is important to note that while rates of gonorrhea have increased sharply in recent years, the current antibiotic regimen is still effective.” However, he went on to say, “If resistance continues to increase and spread, current treatment will ultimately fail.” This failure, Katowitz warned, would “cripple our ability to control the spread of gonorrhea.” He emphasized that medical practitioners must adhere to CDC treatment guidelines that specify the dual ceftriaxone/azithromycin treatments to cure the infection and prevent transmission, and that physicians who suspect treatment failure should report it immediately to their local health department.
