We hypothesize that conjunctival infection progressed due to insufficient penetration of cefixime and azithromycin and point out that extra-genital infection and male urethritis may not be cured simultaneously in settings where the syndromic approach is used.en© 2016 American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association.
