Abstract

A 20-year-old man presented with bilateral ocular discharge and conjunctival injection. An ocular culture revealed Neisseria gonorrhoeae with decreased susceptibility to multiple drugs, including ceftriaxone. The patient was successfully treated with doxycycline (100 mg), which was administered orally, twice a day, for 7 days.
