The ceftibuten group (31 secondry UTI patients and 20 primary UTI patients) were given ceftibuten 400 mg, po, qd for 10.4 d±2.7 d. The ofloxacin group (30 secondary UTI patients and 21 primary UTI patients) were given ofloxacin 100 mg, po, tid for 10 d±3 d. RESULTS: The total effect rate of two groups was 92 % and 76 %(P<0.05) respectively. The total bacterial clearance rate of two group was 92 % and 78 % (P>0.05) respectively.
