Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting Issues

Of 43 youngsters with gonorrhea, 11 were under 10 years of age. These 11 had in common atypical clinical presentation, marital disharmony of the parents, crowded living conditions; some had been abused sexually. Management of gonorrhea in such young children may require a concerted effort by a team of medical, social, and legal personnel to meet the needs of this unique entity.
