Gonococcal scalp abscess in a newborn.

Abstract
We have described a 6-day-old male infant who presented with Neisseria gonorrhoeae conjunctivitis and a scalp abscess. Delivery was complicated by rupture of the membranes 24 hours before delivery and fetal monitoring for four hours. The rare scalp abscesses caused by gonococci cleared with penicillin therapy.
