Penicillin-Resistant Gonorrhea Cases Rise Alarmingly
Across the United States more than 2,100 cases were reported in the first six months, with New York City alone totaling 663 and Florida 372. The CDC calls the trend alarming and warns totals may exceed 4,000 by year end. Spectinomycin is used in many cases, though costs are higher and effectiveness varies. A spectinomycin blitz is being tried in some cities to curb outbreaks.
