Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the kinetics of azithromycin in cervical mucus and plasma. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Azithromycin concentrations were determined in plasma and mucus samples from 20 women with cervical chlamydial infection one, seven and fourteen days after a single oral 1.0 g dose. RESULTS: In mucus, all measurable azithromycin concentrations were above the minimal inhibitory concentration against Chlamydia trachomatis on day 7 as well as on day 14. CONCLUSION: The high cervical mucus concentrations of azithromycin can explain the high clinical and microbiological efficacy.
