Abstract

Sixty patients with uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis were treated with a single dose oral regime comprising 3 g of cefaclor and 1 g of probenecid. Forty-eight patients (80%) returned for follow-up and the overall cure rate among them was 91.6%. Among the isolates, 25 (41.7%) showed penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) strains. The cure rate for patients infected with PPNG was 85% while the cure rate for non-PPNG was 96.4%. Further work is required to establish the optimum dosage for this particular regimen.
