Ten cases of urinary tract infections were treated with amoxycillin in a dosage of 3 times 375 mg (orally) for 10 days. The treatment was successful in nine cases. The laboratory control was done before commencement of the treatment, at the end and one month later. The serum concentrations in all patients as well as the quantity excreted in the urine were determined 1, 2, 4 and 6 h after the administration of the antibiotic. None of these cases presented any side-effects.
We have treated 45 cases of urinary tract infection with cefazolin (i.m.) and cure was achieved in 35 (77.77%). 26 of the 28 patients (92.85%) with acute cystitis who received 250 mg every 12 h for 6–10 days were cured. 17 patients with pyelonephritis received 500 mg every 12 h during 10–14 days and therapeutical success was achieved in 9 of them (52.94%). Laboratory control was carried out at the initiation of therapy, at the end, and 1 month after therapy. Tolerance to injections of cefazolin was considered good and only in one case appeared a mild eosinophilia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
