Avatar n tn 04PM You are right that the data on use of azithromycin for syphilis prevention is worrisome however penicillin (or amoxicillin) is highly active and if you had been exposure to syphilis 5 days of amoxicillin would have cured it. Please do not th8ink that I am trying to "point a finger". I just wanted to let you know that I have taken the time to research but am still vague on the issue. Would 1.5g of azithromycin taken in a single dose cure syphillis?
Avatar m tn Also get repeat tests done to check for any persistent Chlamydia infection or for recurrent Chlmydia infection as it may be presenting silently without any symptoms. Lastly get your vitamin D levels, a complete hemogram and your thyroid profile test done for dizziness and mental tiredness and fatigue. E. faecalis is resistant to many commonly used antimicrobial agents but it may respond to Vancomycin. Treatment options for vancomycin-resistant E.
Avatar n tn Other known pathogens causing infections of the throat are viral and yeast (candida). The antibiotic of choice for a streptococcal infection is penicillin but azithromycin is also effective. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn chances are the infection never really went away, if it was gonorreah or syphilis it probably relapsed...
Avatar f tn I just finished taking Azithromycin yesterday for what must of been a bacterial infection of my sinuses and lungs. It started as a cold. The cold went away but I was experiencing shortness of breath and post nasal drip that just wasn't subsiding. I went to two doctors. The first doctor prescribed a corticosteroid nasal spray (Omnaris). This helped a bit for the post nasal drip but wasn't addressing the shortness of breath or chronic cough that wasn't going away on its own.

Avatar f tn If red pus cells are present, will a urine test for chlamydia and other bacterial infections always be positive, or, since I only had the test a week after potential exposure, the bacteria may not have multiplied enough to be detected in the urine but may still affect the urethra as pus cells? I subsequently tested negative for all other bacterial infections at 12 weeks after exposure.
Avatar f tn I had pelvic pain same when you have period cramps. Inflamed vulva and cervix. The doctor suspected bacterial infection and gave me antibiotics "doxycycline" twice a day for one week and clindamycin once a day for a week. Also gave me an antiseptic feminine wash. The lab tests she ordered are gram staining and pap smear. I took the antibiotics while waiting foe the lab results and my next appointment to the doctor. The gram staining showed Negative for Trichomoniasis and Monilia.
Avatar m tn you paid to post on the std experts forum. you can continue asking questions there.
Avatar n tn This study concluded that azithromycin 1g single dose was quite effective in curing gonorrhea.

Avatar m tn I was on Biaxin very recently for repertory infection @ 2 - 500 mg per day for 8 days. If I was infected with any of the above, would an 8 day course of Biaxin resolved these? And yes it was 8 days and not the usual 10 for whatever reason. 2.
Avatar m tn I agree bacterial infection seems unlikely after the week of Antibiotics I took and I shall take your advice a yeast infection is also unlikely. I assume you hint that Clotrimazole is not a sure cure for a yeast infection if I even had any? I think based on your advice I will hold out taking the DOXY until I have been to the clinic again.
Avatar m tn While it would kill chlamydia (which you never had) it would also affect your normal bacterial flora (which is there for a reason to keep harmful bacteria at bay) and increase the risk of bacterial infections. There multiple cases of severe and hard-to-cure colitis (gut infection) caused by antibiotics in patients who took them "proactively" fearing possible syphilis. I strongly recommend against taking azythromicin or any other antibiotics without a real infection.

Avatar f tn It could be not from chlamydia it is bacterial STD not persistent to drugs. If you have taken doxy for 7 days or 10 days.In my opinion, The Chlamydia should be gone after the antibiotics.
Avatar n tn m worried this may cause a flare-up-- especially when she is only guessing this is a systemic bacterial infection (nothing tested). I started on the eyedrop, and the burning and stinging were fairly severe. So should I continue on all this, or return to my original doctor and see what he says? Any homeopathic remedies for blocked oil glands in the eyelids? Thanks so much.
Avatar m tn This may be due to an infection. Have you had your urine tested lately for a urinary tract infection? Are you still following the doctors advice in using only water to wash the meatus area so you won't get irritation? I would get a urine culture first and see if that is what is causing your problem. Its not likely that an infection due to oral sex would cause the symptoms you have it would be more sore throat etc.
Avatar f tn You should have absorbed the dose in that time. Chlamydia symptoms may persist for days until the inflammatory reaction subsides. You may need a test for cure in 30 days. Be sure to use condoms until then.
