The therapeutic effect of Pefloxacin in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis was examined in a randomized clinical trial. The patients in the control group have been treated by gentamycin. With a success rate of 80% in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis caused by various bacteria (E. coli, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirab.), a side frequency of side effects and a good compliance Pefloxacin is recommended as an effective antimicrobiell drug.

PMID:[A clinical trial of pefloxacin (Abaktal) in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis]. 219

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 phase of active inflammation, 9 patients with exacerbation of chronic prostatitis, 3 patients with acute cystitis, 2 patients with acute urethritis and 5 patients with epididymo-orchitis. Two dosage forms of pefloxacin were used i.e. tablets of 400 mg and ampoules of 5 ml containing 400 mg of the active substance. The treatment course amounted to 7-14 days. In the patients with inflammatory infectious diseases of the lower urinary tracts (cystitis and urethritis) the treatment course amounted up to 5 days. The results of the treatment with the ampoule solutions were good and satisfactory. With the use of the tablets the results were unsatisfactory in 3 patients (8.1 per cent). Satisfactory bacteriological efficacy of the treatment was stated in 89.5 per cent of the cases.
