Abstract

Early in 1998, a group of experts was formed
in order to do research on urogenital infections caused by
Chlamydia trachomatis. The study was planned to last till the
end of 2002. Major achievements reached so far were published
in several journals (indexed in the following databases:
5 in Current Contents, 2 in Excerpta Medica, one in Index
Medicus), in one master’s thesis, one doctoral dissertation,
and are to be reported in four additional master’s thesis. Possible
recognizable recommendations for higher doses of
azithromycin and new indications for azithromycin administration
in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases are not
the official position of PLIVA, but they are implied by the
results of this still unfinished scientific and research project.
Current recommended dosage of Sumamed in the treatment
of sexually transmitted infections is a single dose of 1 g.
