AI Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 563 gonorrhea cases and 218 recurrence cases, revealing that 86.7-87.5% of recurrences occur within the first week after treatment.
- Recurrences happen more quickly after treating acute or subacute gonorrhea compared to chronic cases, typically between days three to seven post-therapy.
- The data suggests that cure validation is most effective on days five to six after treatment, advising closer follow-ups for patients with complicated urogenital issues post-initial check-up.
Article Abstract
A total of 563 case histories of gonorrhea patients and 218 ones of patients with gonorrhea recurrences are analyzed. 86.7-87.5% of recurrences were recorded in the first week after treatment for acute or chronic condition (before the provocation test). The relapses develop earlier after the treatment for acute or subacute gonorrhea than for the chronic condition, and are most common between the third and seventh days after therapy. The share of patients timely consulting the doctors is in inverse proportion with the time of the check-ups (the criterion of cure being 96.2%, the first control 84.1%, the second one 62%). The validity of cure should better be checked up on the fifth-sixth days after therapy, and not on days 7-10. Patients with complicated urogenital diseases (prostatitis, orchiepididymitis, infiltrative urethritis) should be followed up after the first check-up.
