Abstract
A total of 192 men with acute gonococcal urethritis were studied; 97 of received 2 oral doses of Augmentin (amoxycillin 3 g and clavulanic acid 250 mg) separated by a 4 h interval; the remaining 95 received 2 g kanamycin in a single i.m. injection were studied. Of the patients treated with Augmentin, 93 (95.9%) were cured, which was significantly more than the 83 (87.4%) patients treated with kanamycin. Augmentin was equally effective in the treatment of penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) and non-PPNG infections, the cure rates for which were 96.6% and 95.6%, respectively.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
