The efficacy of ofloxacin was evaluated in 30 men with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) and 17 women with Chlamydia trachomatis infection of the cervix. All were treated with ofloxacin 200 mg twice daily for seven days. Before treatment, Ch. trachomatis was isolated from 11 (37%) of the 30 men with NGU. Of these 30 men, the symptoms and signs of urethritis were eliminated in 20 (67%) two weeks after completion of ofloxacin therapy. Ch. trachomatis was not re-isolated from any of the 11 men with positive isolation before treatment. All of the group of 17 women with Ch. trachomatis infection of the cervix had complete cure two weeks after completion of ofloxacin treatment. Ofloxacin appears to be an effective treatment for lower genital tract infections with Ch. trachomatis in men and women and its efficacy in NGU appears to be comparable to standard tetracycline therapy.
