Twenty women with Chlamydia trachomatis genitourinary infection were treated with oral enoxacin 800 mg/day in two divided doses for 12 days starting on day 1 of the menstrual cycle. A physical examination was performed before the start and 28-30 days after the end of the treatment. At the final examination cultures of urethral and endocervical swabs and endometrial samples were negative in all cases, demonstrating that Chlamydia trachomatis infection had been eradicated. No significant results were obtained at serologic evaluation with the indirect immunofluorescence method to show specific IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies. In the four women with subjective symptomatology this was improved by the treatment with enoxacin. Only two patients presented mild side effects (headache, tachycardia, nausea). Enoxacin seems therefore a very effective and well tolerated drug in the treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis genitourinary infection.

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.

Enoxacin (ENX) is a new derivative of pyridonecarboxylic acid and has a broad spectrum antibacterial activity. In this study, the effects of ENX on nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) were examined in 20 patients. ENX was administered orally 3 times a day at a daily dose of 600 mg for 2-23 days. Before treatment, Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from urethral epithelium in 5 of the 20 patients. Of the 18 patients evaluated in this clinical trial, 15 (83%) responded well, and ENX was effective in 3 of the 5 Chlamydia positive cases and in 12 of the 13 Chlamydia-negative patients. As adverse reactions, headache was observed in one case and numbness of limbs in another case. No abnormality induced by ENX was recognized in laboratory findings. It is concluded that ENX is a useful drug in the treatment of patients with NGU, particularly in whom Chlamydia trachomatis is not isolated.
