Abstract
Patients (116) with granuloma venereum were treated with co-trimoxazole (2 tablets twice daily). All the patients responded; most of them required treatment for 10-15 days. Only 2 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.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
