We performed a clinical study on sparfloxacin, a new pyridone carboxylic derivative, and obtained the following results.
Sparfloxacin was administered orally at daily dose of 200-300mg for 4-12 days to 29 patients with obstetric and gynecological infection (Adnexitis, infected ovarian tumor, intrauterine infections and external genital infections).
The clinical results were evaluated as excellent in 1 case and good in 28. The efficacy rate was 100%.
In a bacteriological study, 16 organisms were isolated from 13 cases. Thirteen organisms were eradicated, the eradication rate being 81.3%.
Side effects were observed in 4 cases which were administered orally at a daily dose of 300mg. No side effects were observed in any cases which were administered orally at a daily dose of 200mg.
Our conclusion is that sparfloxacin is a useful drug for the treatment of obstetric and gynecological infections.
