Abstract

Four centres contributed a total of 466 patients to a study comparing the efficacy of oral amoxycillin with that of probenecid and intramuscular ceftizoxime. Both treatments were equally efficacious, except in the small number of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae patients, all of whom responded to ceftizoxime and none to amoxycyllin. Both treatments were well tolerated, the only two adverse effects occurring in the ceftizoxime group.
