  • Title: Single 1 g dose of cefotaxime in the treatment of infections due to penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
    Author: de Koning GA, Tio D, van den Hoek JA, van Klingeren B.
    Journal: Br J Vener Dis; 1983 Apr; 59(2):100-2. PubMed ID: 6299449.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and two patients with an uncomplicated infection due to penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) were treated with a single 1 g dose of cefotaxime. At follow-up within 15 days all genital and rectal infections were cured. Pharyngeal infections also seemed to respond to this treatment. A relatively high proportion (30.9%) of patients, however, developed post-gonococcal urethritis.
