The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) released the annual epidemiological report on gonorrhoea for 2019.
In 2019, a total of 117 881 confirmed cases of gonorrhoea were reported by 28 EU/EEA Member States. The overall crude notification rate was 31.6 cases per 100 000 population. The rates of reported gonorrhoea infection vary considerably across the EU/EEA, with higher rates reported in northern Europe. Men who have sex with men accounted for more than half of the reported cases (54%) in 2019. The overall notification rate increased by 19.2% in 2019, compared to the previous year.
