Incidence and Treatment Outcomes of Pharyngeal <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> and <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> Infections in Men Who Have Sex with Men: A 13‐Year Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract

Nine percent of cases with pharyngeal N. gonorrhoeae and 4.3% of cases with pharyngeal C. trachomatis infection that underwent tests of cure had positive results. Available typing results suggest antibiotic treatment failure rather than reinfection. Specific antibiotic treatment regimens for pharyngeal N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis infections need to be developed and formally evaluated.
