Genital ulcer in a vacationing patient - Cortlandt Forum: "Mr. L, 62 years old, came to see me about a superficial “sore” on the shaft of his penis. The sore had first appeared about a month ago while Mr. L was on a three-week visit to relatives in Florida. He thought his penis might have gotten stuck in his zipper. A physician in Florida had already prescribed two courses of antibiotics. The initial medication was a first-generation cephalosporin. When that treatment was unsuccessful, the physician recommended a tetracycline derivative, presumably to cover possible community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus."
