urethritis/nausea

BACKGROUND Chlamydia trachomatis is among the most common sexually transmitted bacteria worldwide. With excellent activity against C. trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and prolonged elimination half-life allowing once-daily dosage, the fluoroquinolone trovafloxacin has potential advantages in

One hundred and sixty-four male patients suffering from urethral gonorrhoea were treated in an open randomised trial with either 250 mg (n = 85) or 500 mg (n = 79) ciprofloxacin administered in one tablet. Cure rates in both groups were 100%. Postgonococcal urethritis was observed in 31 of 85 (36%)

Cefaclor, a new orally administered cephalosporin, was evaluated by a randomized trial for effectiveness in the treatment of uncomplicated urethritis due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae in men. Regimens included 2,3, and 4 g of cefaclor, with or without 1 g of orally administered probenecid, as single

Fifteen male outpatients with uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis were treated by a single oral dose of norfloxacin (800 mg). Fourteen patients completely recovered from infection and a recurrence was noted in only one. Five of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated (33.3%) were penicillin-resistant.

Amoxicillin in single oral doses of 2.0 g, 2.0 g plus 1.0 g probenecid, or 3.0 g was compared with ampicillin 3.5 g plus 1.0 g probenecid in the treatment of 203 males with uncomplicated acute gonococcal urethritis. Cure rates above 95% were produced by all treatments except the 2.0-g amoxicillin

Twenty-five men with non-specific urethritis/adnexitis were treated with 200 mg doxycycline monohydrate daily (Vibramycin Tabs) over a period of 10 days. More than half of the patients suffered from chronic inflammations. Microorganisms isolated from urethral secretion and prostate exprimate

The efficacy and safety of a single 1 g oral dose of azithromycin was evaluated in 100 male patients with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). Enrolled were men with > or = 5 polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL)/high power field (HPF) (x 1000 magnification) in a Gram-stained smear of urethral discharge

An open-label, dose-response study of cefpodoxime proxetil (CPD), an expanded-spectrum cephalosporin, was conducted with 58 males with uncomplicated Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections with single doses of 600, 400, 200, 100, or 50 mg of CPD administered orally by tablet. CPD eradicated N. gonorrhoeae

A normal component of the flora of the oropharynx, Neisseria sicca was first isolated in 1906 and has since been reported as a rare cause of various human infections including endocarditis, pneumonia, sinusitis, sepsis, and urethritis. We report the case of a 44-year-old African-American female with

In a double-blind randomized study, 155 male patients with uncomplicated urethral gonorrhea were given 200 mg (one capsule with 200 mg and one capsule with placebo; n = 77) or 400 mg (two capsules with 200 mg; n = 78) of enoxacin orally. The cure rates in the 200- and 400-mg treatment groups were 90

Pefloxacin (Abaktal) was used in treatment of 83 patients: 14 patients with acute pyelonephritis, 5 patients with carbuncle of the kidney, 17 patients with postoperative acute pyelonephritis, 3 patients with urosepsis, 7 patients with acute prostatitis, 18 patients with chronic pyelonephritis in the

In a randomised study of two drugs for the oral treatment of uncomplicated urogenital and rectal gonorrhoea the therapeutic effect of cefuroxime axetil ester (CAE) and amoxycillin plus clavulanic acid (A + C) was compared. Cefuroxime axetil ester 1.5 g was given to 129 men and 118 women. Amoxycillin

The results of two therapeutic trials in female patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea (A) and in male patients with uncomplicated urethral gonorrhoea (B) treated with either 200 mg and 400 mg enoxacin orally, of one therapeutic trial in male patients with uncomplicated urogenital

The chemistry, microbiology, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic use, adverse effects, and dosage of amoxicillin-potassium clavulanate, a beta-lactamase-resistant antibiotic combination, are reviewed. Clavulanic acid is a "suicide" inhibitor of bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes and has been effective in

Mezlocillin (2 g) was administered by a single intravenous injection to 32 male patients with gonorrheal urethritis and to five female patients with gonorrheal cervicitis, none of whom had received any pre-treatment or had had any complications. The results of the treatment were "good" in 32 cases
