A young female presented to the hospital OPD with suspected chlamydial infection. She was prescribed oral doxycycline for 2 weeks. After 3 weeks, she came to the hospital again with a mucopurulent cervicitis. On questioning, she admitted that she took the drug only for 3 days. What should be done next?

A
Rewrite the original prescription for oral doxycycline
B
Treat her with an intravenous dose of amoxicillin
C
Write a prescription for oral erythromycin for 10 d
D
Treat her with a single oral dose of Azithromycin
High-Yield Explanation
Cervicitis is caused by C. Trachomatis. Treatment with oral doxycycline for 2 weeks would have eradicated C. Trachomatis and some other bacteria commonly associated with non-gonococcal cervicitis. Given the limited compliance of this patient a single oral dose of Azithromycin would be best for this patient
