What happen to babies born with gonorrhea?

Babies born with gonorrhea can experience serious health complications, including conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum), which can lead to blindness if not treated promptly. They may also face an increased risk of systemic infections affecting various organs. Immediate treatment with antibiotics is crucial to prevent long-term effects. Regular screening and treatment during pregnancy can help reduce the risk of transmission to the newborn.
