Abstract
The effect of trimethoprim was compared with that of oxytetracycline in the treatment of uncomplicated urethritis and/or cervicitis. Twenty-six patients treated with oxytetracycline were all microbiologically cured. Of 19 patients treated with trimethoprim, ten (53%) still harboured the chlamydia after two weeks. The superiority of tetracycline was even more pronounced following the evaluation of dysuria and discharges. 85% of the patients treated with oxytetracycline and 6% of those treated with trimethoprim had neither dysuria nor discharge after the completion of treatment. The patients who failed to be cured by trimethoprim were all successfully treated with oxytetracycline.Entities:
