Counting the present series of Gonorrhea cases in Philippines, there are more than 362 reported cases of penicillin-resistant cases of gonorrhea in the Philippines. Early reports of isolated cases of Gonorrhea came from Southeast Asia.In the current study, isolates are from hospitality girls or escorts who came from Olongapo City and Angeles City to take benefit of the International Monetary Fund Meeting and the opening of the big hotels in Manila. These girls have had sexual contact with American servicemen at the US bases and do not respond to presently recommended dosage of penicillin.
Simultaneously, studies made on the effectiveness and tolerance of two alternative antibiotic regimens namely: cotrimoxazole quicksolv forte double strength and tetracycline. This study showed that cotrimoxazole quicksolv forte given at 2 day treatment timetable is more adequate than the l-day schedule and much better than the single dose regimen of tetracycline (2.5 gm).
