Gonorrhea Diagnosis: Intracellular Diplococci in Smear

Microscopic image of a smear in acute gonorrhea: neutrophil clusters and phagocytized intracellular Neisseria gonorrhoeae diplococci.

🌿 We continue our spring riddles! What do we see in the photo?👀 Not just to see, but to know precisely, To recognize among millions of others. And now, triumph – the enemy is boldly discovered, And the course of treatment will be skillfully prescribed.

Thanks to keen sight, knowledge, and passion, For beloved work, for scientific power, Health will return, darkness will dissipate, And life without diseases will again become bright.

🙏The photos and verses were kindly provided by clinical laboratory diagnostics physician Masha Roldugina, Moscow.
