iollo markers that associate with Gonorrhea*
Arachidonic acid
Arachidonic acid is involved in inflammatory processes. Gonorrhea infection triggers inflammation, so arachidonic acid levels may be altered.References

Lactic acid
Lactic acid is produced by anaerobic metabolism. Bacterial infections like gonorrhea can cause increased anaerobic metabolism and lactic acid production in affected tissues.References
