[Correspondence] Proposed treatment strategies for non-gonococcal urethritis

I read with great interest the Comment by J ørgen S Jensen1 in The Lancet Infectious Diseases about Mycoplasma genitalium infections. As the author notes, the increase in macrolide and fluoroquinolone-resistant M genitalium makes the treatment of M genitalium infections difficult. Under these conditions, new treatment strategies for non-gono coccal urethritis in men are needed. In clinical practice, non-gonococcal urethritis is treated with drugs highly active against Chlamydia trachomatis, because it causes approximately 50% of non-gonococcal urethritis.
