Summary
The frequency of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae coinfection can vary
depending on their individual incidence and prevalence rates.Single-agent therapy with
ceftriaxone is the preferred regimen for treatment of gonococcal infections. If an injectable
cephalosporin is not available, cefixime is the only oral cephalosporin that can be used for
gonococcal therapy. Doxycycline was recommended for presumptive treatment of chlamydia in
nonpregnant individuals with gonococcal infection. The study is conducted to evaluate the
effectiveness of two regimens in combination with doxycycline with cefixime or ceftriaxone.
