Abstract

This is a prospective study comparing spectinomycin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin in the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhoeae in female patients. Of 461 patients, there were 169 patients (36.7%) who had PPNG strains. The cure rate was 98.4% in the spectinomycin group (n=128), 98.6% in the norfloxacin group (n=282) and 100% in ciprofloxacin group (n=45) whether the infection was caused by PPNG or non-PPNG.(Thai J Obstet Gynaecol 1990; 2:.19-22.)
