Abstract

Fourty-two patients with 44 infective sites were treated with ofloxacin alone (22) or associated with an other antibiotic (20). Thirty-five patients (83%) and 37 infective localisations (84%) were cured. The treatment efficacy was similar for ofloxacin alone or associated, and for treatments given with first or second intent. All non-documented infections were cured. Two of the 4 failures were pneumococcal. So, the non-documented infections, the genital and urinary tract infections, the pulmonary infections (second intent) and osteitis seem to be the best indications of ofloxacin therapy.
