Gonorrhea
 
Definition:
Biology Glossary search by EverythingBio.com
 
     
  A chiefly sexually transmitted infection caused by gonococci bacteria. If left untreated, gonorrhea can result in complications including sterility, blindness (preventive treatment is thus routinely given to newborns), or spread to the heart and joints. Women with gonorrhea may be asymptomatic, whereas men often present with a noticeable discharge from the penis.
