Single-dose cefotaxime intramuscularly cures gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum.

P Lepage1, J Bogaerts, P Kestelyn, A Meheus.   

Abstract

Nine neonates with culture proved gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum were treated with a single intramuscular injection of 100 mg/kg of cefotaxime without topical antibiotic therapy. Five of the nine strains were penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae. All nine cases were clinically and microbiologically cured, and no side effects were observed.
