# Gonorrhea*

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that can be diagnosed through a urine test or genital swab.

## 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.

### 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.
