title: [Treatment of gonorrhea in dermatological practice. Results of a survey].
abstract: A questionnaire on the treatment of gonorrhea was sent to 1,560 dermato-venereologists practicing in the Federal Republic of Germany. Nine hundred sixty dermatologists returned the questionnaire. More than 60% of them examine less than 50 patients with gonorrhea per year; 44% treated the gonorrhea with spectinomycin, 42% with penicillin. Single dose treatment is used by approximately half of the dermatologists, but only 4% use single dose treatment with penicillin/probenecid. One case of lethal allergic shock to penicillin is reported to have occurred in 1980.
