Abstract
In a study of the efficacy of cefuroxime in the treatment of 278 cases of acute gonorrhea (including rectal and pharyngeal infections and infections due to penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae), high cure rates were found for 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.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
