-
A new synthetic pyridone carboxylic antimicrobial agent, Enoxacin (B-Mark(TM)) was administered orally in 37 cases of genitourinary tract infection and following results were obtained. 1. Among 12 cases of acute simple cystitis, the cure rate was 91.7%. 2. Among 6 cases of chronic complicated urinary tract infections, the cure rate was 66.7 %. 3. Among 9 cases of gonorrheal urethritis, the cure rate was 88.9%. 4. Among 10 cases of nongonorrheal urethritis, the cure rate was 60%. There was no serious side effects but mild G-I symptoms such as nausea, indigestion and fatigability were found. The results suggest that Enoxacin (B-Mark(TM)) is a useful antibacterial agent in the treatment of urinary tract infections, especially in acute simple cystitis and gonorrheal urethritis.
