RESUMO
The comparative efficacy of 2 g of piperacillin and 4.8 X 10(6) U of penicillin G in the treatment of uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis was assessed in a randomized prospective study. Sixty-five evaluable patients received piperacillin, and 55 received penicillin G. All patients received either therapy were cured of gonorrhea. We conclude that piperacillin is as efficacious as aqueous procaine penicillin G in the therapy of uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis.
