ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of ornidazole in the treatment of trichomonal vaginitis. Methods:Totally 112 cases of trichomonal vaginitis from February 2011 to December 2012 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the ob-servation group and the control group with 56 cases in each. The control group was treated with metronidazole tablets 200mg, po,tid, and the observation group was treated with ornidazole tablets 500mg, po,bid. The treatment course was 7 days. The clinical effect, score of clinical symptoms and incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 96. 4%, which was higher than that of the control group (82. 1%), and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P0. 05). The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the observation group was 10. 71%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (37. 5%), and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0. 05). Conclusion:The clinical curative effect of ornidazole in the treatment of trichomonal vaginitis is notable with faster onset, shorter treatment course, lower adverse reaction rate and better patient tolerance,which is valuable in the clinical promotion.
