    Snippet: Understanding how the reported incidence of disease is measured and documented is critical to devising strategies for treating diseased populations. Gonorrhoea, while treatable, is a communicable disease that poses a continuing problem in certain locations, which could be attributed, at least in part, to inaccurate diagnosis and reporting.

    Document: Understanding how the reported incidence of disease is measured and documented is critical to devising strategies for treating diseased populations. Gonorrhoea, while treatable, is a communicable disease that poses a continuing problem in certain locations, which could be attributed, at least in part, to inaccurate diagnosis and reporting. In this paper, we provided new insight into the issue of the gender difference of reported gonorrhoea incidence due to the inaccurate diagnostic and reporting process. We found that females were more likely to be untested, get false-negative results in the clinical process, and have a higher proportion of being unreported to CISDCP. The sex ratio of reported newly diagnosed gonorrhoea in Shenzhen has been overestimated by a factor of 7.9 times as compared with the true diagnosis sex ratio.
