J Antimicrob Chemother. 1988 Oct:22 Suppl D:227-30. doi: 10.1093/jac/22.supplement_d.227.

Abstract

In an open study, 22 patients with genito-urinary infection by Chlamydia trachomatis were treated with oral fleroxacin in varying dosage. Symptoms were relieved and cultures became negative in 19 patients, with three patients not assessable. Adverse reactions, affecting the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract and the skin (photosensitivity), were reported in seven patients.
