“…Recurrent NGU is empirically defined as the recurrence of symptomatic urethritis occurring 30-90 days following treatment of acute NGU 11 and occurs in 10-20% of patients. 11,86 The aetiology of persistent NGU is probably multifactorial with an infectious agent being identified in <50% of cases. 6,11,74,86 M. genitalium has been identified in 20-40% 6,11,74,87 and C. trachomatis in 10%-20% of men treated with azithromycin 1gram.…”

“…9 10 While the majority of patients with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) respond clinically to tetracycline or erythromycin, 11 and local scarring does not seem to occur, some patients are unresponsive to treatment (persistent NGU) or the problem recurs after a disease free interval (recurrent NGU). 12 We have previously shown that the chemotactic activity of the urethral exudate temporarily declines after treatment in C trachomatis positive urethritis but returns to pretreatment levels at 4-6 weeks after the end of therapy in the absence of evidence of reinfection. 13 Chemo-tactic activity of the urethra does not significantly decline after treatment of C trachomatis negative urethritis.…”

“…Using the 3 months clinically-based routine of follow-up in the 1950s to 1980s, men treated for NGU had a recurrence rate above 15%. Of 221 followed up for a year, Munday found 45 (20%) with recurrence 28 . A 3-year follow-up routine applied to females showed a 38% recurrence rate 29 .…”
