Abstract

In the article by Parrott in the January 1989 issue of Pediatrics in Review, "Cystitis and Urethritis," Table 3 on page 222 outlined the 1982 MMWR guidelines for treatment of gonococcal urethritis. New guidelines were issued in 1985. Readers should check the revised schedules for details. Major changes include: (1) oral tetracycline alone is no longer acceptable therapy, (2) ceftriaxone (adult dose of 250 mg, IM) is one of the new acceptable regimens, and (3) the increasing incidence of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae warrants community monitoring.
