Abstract
THE clinical manifestations of gonococcal infection may take many forms, the most commonly recognized being the urogenital. Extragenital spread or localization can result in gonococcemia with cutaneous manifestations, meningitis, endocarditis, pericarditis, arthritis, tenosynovitis, perihepatitis, parotitis and proctitis.1 2 3 Perihepatitis was first described by Stajano4 in 1919. Curtis,5 in 1930, and Fitz-Hugh, in 19346 and 1936,7 reported on this syndrome, which now bears their names. Reports by Stanley8 (1946) and Vickers and Maloney (1964)9 further defined and described the syndrome as it pertains to females. The purpose of this paper is to report what is considered to be the first recognized case . . .Keywords
