Sixty-one male urethritis cases, 28 gonococcal urethritis and 33 nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), were out-patients at the Department of Urology, Asahi General Hospital, during the 4 months, Oct. 1, 1984-Jan. 31, 1985. Thirteen of the 33 NGU patients (39.4%) were infected with C. trachomatis (CT). The efficacy of
Doxycycline
and the route of infection was studied in the cases of CT-positive CT-negative-NGU. CT infection from prostitutes was not so frequent as in the other pathogen infection of NGU. The efficacy of
Doxycycline
(100 mg b.i.d. for 2 weeks) against CT infection was excellent in the disappearance of subjective complaints and that of white blood cells in the
urethral discharge
in the CT positive-NGU group (13/13), in comparison with CT negative-NGU group (7/18). The efficacy of
Doxycycline
against CT was also confirmed from the follow-up study by the isolation of CT and by detection of CT antigen from urethral swabs using FITC conjugated monoclonal antibody against CT antigen.
