One hundred and twenty-three female patients suffering from uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea were treated in a double blind randomised trial with either 200 mg enoxacin (one capsule of 200 mg, one of placebo) or 400 mg enoxacin (two capsules of 200 mg). The cure rate in the 46 evaluable patients in the 400 mg group was 100%, and in the 40 evaluable patients in the 200 mg group 98.7%. Minor side effects such as nausea, headache and skin rash occurred in three of 109 evaluable patients (2.8%). The minimum inhibitory concentration of enoxacin for the Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated varied between 0.03 and 0.12 mcg/ml. Enoxacin would seem to be a very effective drug in the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea in female patients.

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 gonorrhoea treated with either 250 mg or 500 mg ciprofloxacin orally (C) and of one therapeutic trial in male patients with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) treated with ciprofloxacin 1 g daily during seven days (D) are presented and compared with the results of other investigators. The cure rate in study A was 100% (n = 40) in the 400 mg group and 95.7% (n = 46) in the 200 mg group. The cure rate in study B was 92% (n = 78) in the 400 mg group and 90% (n = 77) in the 200 mg group. In both studies no antichlamydial effect of enoxacin was observed. The cure rates in study C were 100% with 250 and 500 mg. An antichlamydial effect seemed to be present. In studies A, B and C side effects were minor and rare and were mainly nausea and headache. In study D (100 patients suffering from NGU) disappearance of Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum one day after the end of treatment was observed in 29 of 32 (91%) and 28 of 32 (88%) cases, respectively. Pyuria disappeared in 44% and 74% of the patients showed clinical cure. However, two weeks after the end of treatment Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum were observed in respectively six and eight cases. In 30% pyuria was still absent. Side effects were only minor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
