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.Entities:
