Cephalosporins such as ceftriaxone (pregnancy category B) are
recommended for gonorrhea during pregnancy. Because 20%-50% of
women with gonorrhea also have chlamydial infection, azithromycin
or amoxicillin (pregnancy category B) is recommended to
accompany gonorrhea treatment. Partner also should be treated to

antibiotic such as ceftriaxone at birth to prevent ophthalmia
neonatorum. Tetracycline should not be used in a pregnant woman

vaginal birth and is associated with development of epithelial
tumors of mucous membranes of larynx in children. Pregnancy can

dysplasia and cancer

imiquimod) are not recommended during pregnancy. Excision of
maternal lesions by cryotherapy or cautery may be done.
