Abstract

M ycoplasma genitalium has been implicated as a cause of acute and chronic nonchlamydial nongonococcal urethritis (NCNGU) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) ([1][1]). In New Zealand, as with many other countries, the preferred treatment for NCNGU is either azithromycin or doxycycline ([2][2]).
