    Author: Johnson KA, Sankaran M, Kohn RP, Bacon O, Cohen SE.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2023 May 03; 76(9):1674-1677. PubMed ID: 36575605.
    Abstract:
    We found that the odds of return clinic visits for persistent non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) were significantly lower (odds ratio: .4; 95% confidence interval: .3-.6; P < .0001) after implementing (1) testing for Mycoplasma genitalium during initial evaluations for NGU and (2) switching from azithromycin to doxycycline as first-line NGU treatment.
