Gonorrhea infection continues to increase. Summer is a vulnerable time and the infection is treacherous. Several can carry gonorrhea without having noticeable symptoms.
The greatest increase occurs among young adults, but falls are also seen among considerably older people.
During the first six months of the year, the number of cases of gonorrhea has increased. Compared to the same period in 2023, the increase is approximately six percent, according to the Public Health Authority.
The increase is noticeable both in Sweden and in other EU countries. During holiday periods, more people are also at risk of being affected.
– Many have time for holidays, it’s warm times, emotions come and then it is perhaps easier to meet partners, says Inga Velicko, head of unit at the Public Health Agency.
The largest and most intensive increase occurs in the age group of young adults between 20 and 29 years. But there are also cases of infection in higher age groups such as 30 to 39, 40 to 49 and 50 to 59.
