While relapse may occur more frequently with single-dose therapy, late recurrence rates are the same and side effects are less than with multiple-dose therapy. Patients with relapsing infection or frequent recurrence are candidates for chronic prophylaxis with low-dose antimicrobial or prompt self-administered therapy. %U https://www.ccjm.org/content/ccjom/56/5/478.full.pdf
