ABSTRACT
One hundred patients with complicated urinary tract infection with significant colony counts were treated. The most common organism was Escherichia coli [86%], Pseundomonas aeruginosa [8%], Klebsiella [4%] and mixed infection with Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis [2%]. Most of the patients started showing improvement within 48 to 72 hours and complete recovery was achieved with 7 to 10 days with Ciprofloxacin 250 mg twice daily. A cure rate of 98% was achieved. Adverse effects were insignificant. There were no significant changes in the renal and liver function tests after the therapy. All the patients were followed up for a period of six months. Most of the patients with anatomical structural deformities were later on treated surgically. Since complicated UTI is a serious problem the safety and efficacy of only one drug with newer fluoroquinolones was studied
