Of these, only 46 (4\%) failed to respond. Cotrimoxazole in the dosage used was well tolerated by all the patients, with very few side-effects. There was clear evidence that cotrimoxazole did not mask concomitant syphilitic infections; neither did it produce a gonococcal carrier state. The incidence of post-gonococcal non-specific urethritis was 6 per cent. At present cotrimoxazole seems to be the most useful alternative to penicillin in the treatment of gonorrhoea.}, issn = {0007-134X}, URL = {https://sti.bmj.com/content/51/3/179}, eprint = {https://sti.bmj.com/content/51/3/179.full.pdf}, journal = {Sexually Transmitted Infections} }
