INTRAVENOUS 'MINOCYCLINE' IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC URINARY TRACT INFECTION AND GENITAL INFECTION

摘要

Twenty patients of urinary tract infection (16 cases of chronic cystitis, 3 of chronic pyelonephritis, and 1 chronic prostatitis) were treated by intravenous drip of Minocycline hydrochloride 100 mg twice daily for four or five days. The efficacy of the treatment was judged on the basis of clinical examination, bacteriological test, and improvement of subjective symptoms. Eighty percent of the cases were favorable: 8 excellent, 8 good, 4 null. No manifestation of side effects was encountered except the cases in which S-GOT or S•GPT was slightly elevated.
