ABSTRACT

Oral ciprofloxacin (750 mg twice daily) was compared with intravenous cefotaxime (2 g three times daily) as therapy for 61 episodes of skin and skin structure infections occurring in adult patients. A variety of infections including cellulitis, infected ulcers, abscesses, and other miscellaneous infections were treated. Clinical cure was achieved in 77 percent (24 patients) of 31 patients treated with ciprofloxacin and in 76 percent (22 patients) of 28 patients treated with cefotaxime. The response was slower in infected diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients in both groups. Side effects were minimal and appeared only in the cefotaxime group. Ciprofloxacin taken twice daily was as effective as cefotaxime administered intravenously three times daily in the treatment of skin and skin structure infections.

ABSTRACT

Durante el periodo comprendido entre 1980 a 1985 se diagnosticaron 10 abscesos perinéfrico en siete mujeres y tres varones. La edad promedio fue de 43.1 años. La evolución promedio de 174.7 días. Los síntomas prominentes fueron dolor (costovertebral/abdominal), calosfríos repetidos y fiebre. A la exploración física se encontró una tumoración en nueve de los diez casos. La hemoglobina promedio fue de 9.94 con un recuento total de leucocitos de 16,360. Todos los pacientes tenían alteraciones en la urografía excretora sugestivas de absceso perinéfrico. Las enterobacterias gramnegativas sensibles predominaron (siete de 10) como los agentes etiogénicos. Esta entidad se debe sospechar en mujeres/varones mayores de 40 años, con diabetes sacarina no insulinodependiente, anémicos, con duración de signos y síntomas de más de una semana, a los que se les practicó una urografía excretora
