ABSTRACT
The treatment of gonorrhea caused by beta-strains of N. gonorrhoeae is quite different from that of non-beta-strains, but it is not always possible in general practice to take cultures of gonococci to detect p-lactamase producing organisms. Therefore treatment regimens commonly used for gonorrhoea should be effective against both PPNG non-PPNG strains. Eighty-seven male uncomplicated gonorrheal patients were treated with intramuscular kanarnycin 2gm in combilnation with talampicillin 2. 5 gm plus probenecid 1grn orally. Sixty-seven patients were followed up. All patients recovered. Ten patients among sixty-seven patients had PPNG. A regimen of intramuscular kanamycin 2 gm, talampicillin 2. 5 gm plus probenecid 1 0 gm orally seems to be one of the most cost effective regimens in Korea.
