Disseminated gonococcal infection is a systemic complication of which infection?

Disseminated gonococcal infection arises when Neisseria gonorrhoeae spread from a mucosal gonorrhea infection into the bloodstream, leading to systemic symptoms like fever, migratory arthritis, tenosynovitis, and skin lesions. This makes gonorrhea the infection linked to this systemic complication. The other options describe infections that do not typically cause disseminated infection in this way: HPV is a viral infection with warts and cancer risk; Trichomonas vaginalis causes a protozoan infection with vaginal symptoms; Chlamydia can cause cervicitis and PID but is not classically associated with disseminated infection.
