, he kept the cup in the back seat of his car.On the same day, the mother took her baby to where she worked.
After returning home, the mother left her son alone in the car to put the shopping items into the house.
But, when he returned to the car, he was shocked to see that his son had crawled into the back seat where he had put the patient’s clinical samples.The three-year-old toddler had eaten most of the contents of one of the cups.
The cup contains something like ‘chocolate jelly’ which is actually a medium for growing bacteria.Even though it’s not made from real chocolate, the jelly is still appetizing.
The mother immediately took her son to the hospital.Based on case reports published on
The New England Journal of Medicine
In 1984, the results found that the laboratory cup contained
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
or bacteria that cause gonorrhea.
The doctor decided to monitor the toddler’s development.On the 8th day, the examination revealed that the toddler was positive for gonorrhea.
However, the report did not mention the symptoms the boy was experiencing.However, often gonorrhea will cause symptoms in the mouth and throat.
In this way, what happened to this 3 year old toddler is the most unique case of gonorrhea.The reason is, almost 100 percent of gonorrhea cases are transmitted through sexual contact.Meanwhile, in children, gonorrhea is usually transmitted through sexual abuse.
