NOTE: These tables should be used only for race/ethnicity comparisons. The 0- to 9-year age group is not shown because some of these cases may not be due to sexual transmission, and they are not included in the totals. In 2010, race/ethnicity was unknown (i.e., unknown, missing, or invalid data values) for 20.0% of reported gonorrhea cases, age was unknown for 0.2% of cases, and sex was unknown for 0.4% of cases. See Table 21 for age-specific cases and rates and Tables 14-16 for total and sex-specific cases and rates.
