OBJECTIVE To determine if amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium is effective in the treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis endocervicitis. METHODS Thirty-two patients with culture-proven endocervical infection were treated with amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium, 500 mg orally 3 times a day for 10 days. Post-treatment endocervical specimens were obtained at 2, 4, and 6 weeks for culture of C. trachoma...

To test for the presence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, culture speciments were taken from the endocervical, urethral, and rectal sites in 556 women seen at the Alameda County Venereal Disease Clinic, Oakland, California, U.S.A. There was no significant difference between the number of new cases found with the rectal speciments alone (nine out of a total of 154 cases diagnosed) and those r...
