Single doses of 3.5 g of ampicillin with 1.0 g of probenecid or of 3.0 g of amoxicillin alone were administered orally to 58 males and 56 females with uncomplicated gonococcal infection. The failure rate for genital or anal infection, or both, was 1.7% for ampicillin plus probenecid and 4.2% for amoxicillin alone. However, patients with oropharyngeal infection responded poorly. Seventy-five iso...
