A
Infants born to women with cervical C. trachomatis are at risk for conjunctivitis and pneumonia. The preferred treatment for both infections is systematic erythromycin succinate or erythromycin base.
Ofloxacin is not indicated for treatment of pneumonia in infants.
Ceftriaxone is not indicated in the treatment of chlamydia in infants.
Doxycycline is indicated for adults and adolescents, but not for infants.
