Re-Evaluating the Treatment of Nongonococcal Urethritis: Emphasizing Emerging Pathogens-A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract

Addition of tinidazole to the treatment regimen did not result in higher cure rates but effectively eradicated trichomonas. Clinical cure rates were not significantly different between patients treated with doxycycline and those treated with azithromycin; however, doxycycline had significantly better efficacy against Chlamydia, whereas azithromycin was superior to doxycycline for the treatment of M. genitalium.
