Further evidence of the efficacy of co-trimoxazole in granuloma venereum

S Lal et al. Br J Vener Dis. 1980 Dec.

Abstract

One hundred and sixteen patients with granuloma venereum were treated with cotrimoxazole two tablets twice daily. All the patients responded; most of them required treatment for 10-15 days. Only two patients had recurrences, which were probably due to reinfections. No side effects of the drug occurred. Co-trimoxazole is considered to be the treatment of choice for granuloma venereum because of its high efficacy, few side effects, easy administration, and absence of any risk of masking concomitant syphilis.
