Genital system infections, antibacterial therapy Flashcards
Bacterial Vaginosis:
Q: What are the treatment options for bacterial vaginosis?
A: Treatment options include oral metronidazole for 5-7 days (or high-dose metronidazole as a single dose) and topical metronidazole for 5 days or topical clindamycin for 7 days.
Uncomplicated Genital Chlamydial Infection and Non-Gonococcal Urethritis:
Q: What is the first-line treatment for uncomplicated genital chlamydial infection and non-gonococcal urethritis?
A: First-line treatment is doxycycline. An alternative for those with tetracycline allergy or unsuitability is azithromycin.
Gonorrhea (Uncomplicated):
Q: What are the recommended treatments for uncomplicated gonorrhea?
A: First-line treatments are ceftriaxone (if antimicrobial susceptibility is unknown) or ciprofloxacin (if the microorganism is sensitive to it). Alternatives due to various reasons include gentamicin plus azithromycin, cefixime plus azithromycin (if parenteral administration is not possible), and spectinomycin plus azithromycin (in non-pharyngeal infections).
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease:
Q: What is the recommended treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)?
A: The recommended treatment for PID is doxycycline + metronidazole + a single dose of intramuscular ceftriaxone or ofloxacin + metronidazole. The suggested duration of treatment is 14 days.
Syphilis:
Q: What are the recommended treatments for early syphilis (primary, secondary, and early latent) and late latent syphilis?
A: For early and late latent syphilis, first-line treatment is benzathine benzylpenicillin. Alternatives include doxycycline.
Q: What is the recommended treatment for asymptomatic contacts of patients with infectious syphilis?
A: The recommended treatment for asymptomatic contacts is benzathine benzylpenicillin, with doxycycline as an alternative.
