The Gram stain helps to make a rapid diagnosis but it is not specific for chlamydia. Some patients with chlamydia have negative gram stains and only about 40% of persons with gram stains suggestive of chalmydial infection turn out to have chlamydial infection (the others have a variety of other things).
As I said, your partner was not treated in the manner recommended by the CDC, the World helth Organization and by nearly every professional organization.
later urinary urgency started and i was tested for chlamydia and gonnorhea then placed on a range of antibiotics on and off for 2 months. by 2 months i finally got into a urologist, who noted that my flow was extremely slow, my emptying was very poor and i needed to do something. he placed me on a range of antibiotics in combnation with xatral. after months of this the symptoms abated.
At the same time when I got tested for Syphilis VDRL, I also got tested for Chlamydia PCR urine test and Gonococcal PCR urine test. Negative results for both tests. Can I assume these 2 tests results are also reliable? Although I have taken the above mentioned antibiotics? The duration between the last dose of last antibiotic Zinnat and the testing day is around 20 days.
Thanks in advance, Dr. Hook.
As I am currently situated in China and am not too confident of the Chinese hospitals, I visited an International Medical Center where the doctor diagnosed a Chlamydia infection. There was only a urine sample test done and I was prescribed Ofloxacin. My itch and discharge cleared up after I was done with the medication, 4 x 100 mg tablets, 2 times daily for 5 days.
Fearing I may have really contracted Chlamydia (although I had no contact other than described above), I had an ANA Urine test for Chlamydia and Gonnorhea and both were negative. Is it possible to contract Chlamydia Conjunctivitis from the finger to the eye as described above? If so, wouldn't the incubation period be longer than 12-24 hours? Could I pass it to my wife's eyes simply by touching her, even if not anywhere near her eyes?
Bacteria are the most common cause of cystitis, and may be introduced into the urinary system for many reasons. Infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea can cause symptoms similar to cystitis, particularly when they are present in young, sexually active men. You are on the right antibiotics. Plesae continue on the same.

He puts me on Ofloxacin for a week. After about a week I feel better. My wife and I have sex, with her giving me oral sex. Coincidentally, about 5-7 days later she starts to complain that her throat and ear are burning, and at the same time my symptoms return. I received a swab test again for STD and negative, and a urinalysis, which says I have no bacterial infection. I am worried I have passed something on to her.
Only those colonies sensitive to methicillin will be killed by Ofloxacin and Naficillin. I would suggest an antibiotic sensitivity test for the colony of staph to see which antibiotic is strongest against them. Vancomycin, gentamycin, rifampicin are some antibiotics used.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Discuss this with your doctor and see what he says. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
It came back positive for Chlamydia. I have been treated for this now 4 times, have not had sex in a year with my fiance and my test continues to come back positive. I have been treated with the doxycycline everytime because the other medication I am unable to take due to allergies. Are there any other treatments other than the doxycycline and azithromyacine?
In addition I did another calculation and actually I tested negative for Mycoplasma 25 days after taking Ofloxacin. I learnt that Urine tests are pretty accurate so I strongly believe that I do not have ngu any more. But what conserns me is continuos clear discharge after I wake up. That has now happened 4 days in a row. I know that because my penis head is moist. I do not see it happening during the day - even if I have long breaks between urinating.
A urine test came back negative for Chlamydia so the urologist diagnosed me with NGU. He gave me a 5 day course of Azythromyacin and 2 weeks of Ofloxacin (200mg x2 a day). The z-pac didn't help. On Ofloxacin the burning went away but 7 days after the prescription ended the symptoms returned.
The doctor put me back on Ofloxacin for 2 more weeks and gave me Terramycin ointment to rub into my urethra 3 times a day.
Hi,
Back in June I stupidly had unprotected vaginal\anal sex with a woman. After the encounter she told me she'd been treated for syphilis in the past but she thought I'd be fine. I've had numerous symptoms since then. I've been tested negative for chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhoea, HIV, Hep B and syphilis.
As I was deemed high risk I was treated for chlamydia and syphilis immediately.
from all the antibiotics i finished and took, i find ofloxacin the most effective. is it safe to take ofloxacin again for 7 days, twice a day? or will the bacteria i have get immuned to it? im planning to go to the doc tomorrow and probably ask for a injection this time and std check up if they can.
On 3/21/07 she had stomach flu,5/24/07 she woke up with a bloody looking eye it's ALWAYS on the same eye (right)on the inner part of the sclera & it never spreads to the other eye,she always says it hurts & it swells up a little. Her pediatrician thought it was conjuvitis & rx Ofloxacin .3% it cleared up in 3 days.
