Go to ID doctor: Persistent infection after treatment may be due to reinfection or resistance/treatment failure. Make sure parter(s) are treated. If the cultures for gonococcus are positive, isolates should be submitted for resistance testing. Advise IM ceftriaxone plus high dose oral Azithromycin. Gemifloxacin or IM gentamicin if resistance to cephalosporins is suspected. Retest 14 days after retreatment.
