  • Title: Assessment of the UTI criteria for bacterial prostatitis in Japan.
    Author: Arakawa S, Kamidono S.
    Journal: Infection; 1992; 20 Suppl 3():S232-4. PubMed ID: 1337062.
    Abstract:
    A clinical study of a new oral fluoroquinolone was conducted in bacterial prostatitis for the assessment of the UTI criteria in Japan. It is concluded that evaluation of efficacy is possible after seven-day administration in acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP), and after 14-day administration in chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP). In ABP, the cure evaluation can be done 14 days after the treatment period. Further studies on the pathogenicity of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus were found to be necessary. When isolates from expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) are employed before administration, isolation from VB3 should not be used for evaluation of efficacy.
