UK man cured of 'world's worst' case of gonorrhoea
An Englishman who caught the 'world's worst' case of super-gonorrhoea after a sexual encounter in Southeast Asia has been cured. The infection was deemed resistant to two conventional antibiotics azithromycin and ceftriaxone, but doctors successfully treated it with another drug ertapenem. Doctors reported two similar cases in Australia, with one also having caught the bug from Southeast Asia.
