Treatment cost of acute gonococcal infections: estimates from employer-sponsored private insurance claims data in the United States, 2003-2007.

摘要

We used 2003-2007 claims data to estimate the direct cost of medical care per case of acute gonorrhea infection. The estimated average total cost per episode for those who were treated was Dollars 210 (male, Dollars 227; female, Dollars 205). This estimate does not include intangible (e.g., pain) and indirect costs (e.g., lost productivity).
