Thirty-seven patients with relapsing infections of the urinary tract were treated with pefloxacine, 400 mg/12 h for a period of 7-28 days. The clinical success of treatment was 100%, the bacteriological success 95%. Within 3-4 weeks after termination of treatment 63% of the patients did not develop a relapse, in particular those who did not have morphological changes of the kidneys. Side-effects-gastrointestinal, nervous, dermatological--during treatment were not severe. The results are comparable with results of the effect of ofloxacine in a similar group of patients.
