Tosulfoxacin Treatment of Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection of the Uterine Cervix.

In vivo efficacy of tosufloxacin (TFLX) for treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis cervical infection in women was evaluated by enzyme immunoassay. The short term (within 31 days of treatment) response rates with a dosage of 150mg orally 3 times daily were 100% (54/54) with 14 days of treatment and 97% (38/39) with 7 days of treatment. Subjective symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, or atypical bleeding were observed in 76 (82%) of the 93 patients. After treatment, symptoms improved in 75 (99%) of 76 patients. Two of 34 patients (5.9%) showed positive results in the long interval tests (1 to 18 months after treatment). Three (2.3%) of 131 patients needed to be changed from TFLX to other drugs due to side effects (eczema, face edema, urticaria). TFLX was effective and patients showed high compliance for treatment of cervical C. trachomatis infection.
