infection with ceftriaxone resistance and azithromycin intermediate resistance in a heterosexual man in Denmark, 2017.

Although treatment with ceftriaxone 0.5 g plus azithromycin 2 g was successful, increased awareness of spread of gonococcal strains threatening the recommended dual therapy is crucial.
