In this issue we have taken the unusual step of "fast tracking" two papers (see p 330 and p 335), which will have a time from acceptance to publication of under two months as opposed to our average of eight months. We hope that the reasons are obvious. One aims to influence management and thereby improve the treatment of gonorrhoea, and the other provides an up to date picture of the chlamydia screening programme in England, a subject of great interest to the specialty, to patients, and to the media. In future, if you think you have something worthy of rapid publication please include a justification for this in your letter at the time of submission.
See p 330 and 335
The recommended first line treatment for gonorrhoea recently changed from ciprofloxacin to a cephalosporin, in line with results from surveillance data on antibiotic resistance.1 But which cephalosporin?
