Abstract:
Objective To compare the effect of gatifloxacin and levofloxacin for treating acute bacterial infection.Methods According to the digital table,228 patients with respiratory or urinary tract infections were randomly divided into group A and group B,114 cases in each group.Group A was given gatifloxacin 200mg,adding 5％ glucose injection 100ml intravenous drip injection twice daily; Group B was treated with levofloxacin 200mg,by adding 5％ glucose injection 100ml intravenous infusion twice daily.The treatment course lasted 7-14 days.The clincal effect,bacterial clearance rate and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed.Results The cure rate and total effective rate of group A was 68.4％,93.0％,respectively,which of group B was 66.7％,90.3％,respectively,the differences were statistically significant (x2 =0.184,0.213,all P ＞0.05).The bacterial clearance rate and bacterial drug sensitivity test sensitivity was 89.4％,78.8％,respectively,which of group B was 77.2％,70.3 ％,respectively,the differences were all statistically significant (x2 =4.812,4.236,all P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions of group A was 7.0％,which of group B was 6.1％,there was no statistically significant difference (x2 =0.672,P ＞0.05).Conclusion Gatifloxacin has better effect and lower adverse reactions in the treatment of acute bacterial respiratory or urinary tract infections,and there is no significant difference compared with levofloxacin treatment,and it is worthy of clinical application.
