Abstract		Gonorrhea is a common bacterial infection transmitted almost exclusively by sexual contact or perinatally. It primarily affects the mucous membranes of the lower genital tract and less frequently those of the rectum, oropharync, and conjuctivae. Ascending genital infection in women leads to the acute salpingitis, one of the most common causes of female infertility in the world. Acute epideidymitis, prostatitis and bacteremic infections are additional possible consequences. Treatment of gonococcal infections is influenced by the following trends: a spread of strains showing plasmid-mediated resistance to penicillin and tetracycline, chromosommally mediated resistance to multiple antibiotics, and a high requency of coexisting chlamydial infectins. The Center for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta, recommended in 1993 the simultanous treatment of the uncomplicated gonorhea and concomitant chlamydial infection with a single dose of Ceftriaxone 250 mg i.m., plus Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for seven days.
