Antibiotic sensitivities of gonococci isolated in Rotterdam and results of treatment with cefuroxime

K C Nayyar et al. Br J Vener Dis. 1980 Aug.

Abstract

In a study of the efficacy of cefuroxime in the treatment of 278 cases of acute gonorrhoea (including rectal and pharyngeal infections and infections due to penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae), high cure rates were found for both male (98.8%) and female patients (98.6%). Disadvantages of this treatment are its high cost and the relatively high proportion of patients who develop postgonococcal urethritis.
