Abstract

The clinical efficacy and safety of intravenous micronomicin (MCR) therapy were evaluated in cases with complicated urinary tract infections. MCR was administered to 13 patients by intravenous drip infusion over a period of 1 hour, in a dose of 120 mg twice daily for 5 consecutive days. Therapeutic results were evaluated by the criteria proposed by UTI committee and the judgement of the doctor in charge and the overall clinical efficacy rate was 69% (9/13) and 85% (11/13), respectively. Among 18 strains isolated before treatment, 15 strains were eradicated and bacteriological efficacy rate was 83%. No side effects including nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity associated with the treatment were noted, except for 1 case with transient elevation of A1-P.
