 AB    This is a case report of a 35-year-old woman infected with the human
       immunodeficiency virus who presented with acute bacterial sepsis that
       proved to be secondary to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Typical skin and joint
       findings developed only after the acute sepsis had resolved. Patients
       with disseminated gonococcal infection rarely have signs of acute
       bacterial sepsis. This case raises the question of whether HIV-infected
       patients are at an increased risk of contracting severe gonococcal
       disease.
