Abstract:
In spite of highly developed antibiotics and chemotherapeutics, genitourinary tract infection still remains as troublesome subjects for urologists. New bactericidal agent, Bactrim (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) was administered in 18 cases of genitourinary tact infection, which were resistant to most antibiotics and following results were obtained. 1) Among 9 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis. 5 cases were cured completely, 4 cases were improved. 2) Among 7 cases of chronic prostatitis, one case was cured but only mild improvement were noted in remaining 6 cases. 3) 2 cases of pyelonephritis showed improvement in both clinically and bacteriologically.
