RESUMO
Women with culture-proven Chlamydia trachomatis cervical infection were randomized to receive either ofloxacin (300 mg) or doxycycline (100 mg), orally twice daily for 7 days. All 56 had negative cultures 5 to 9 days after treatment. Four weeks after treatment, 26 (93%) of 28 ofloxacin-treated patients and all 22 doxycycline-treated patients were cured. We conclude that 300 mg of ofloxacin given twice daily for 7 days provides effective therapy for chlamydial infection of the cervix.
