    Abstract:
    Enoxacin was administered orally to 49 out-patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) at the doses of 600 mg/day and clinical effects were evaluated. Out of 13 patients with simple acute UTI evaluated by the UTI criteria, the results were excellent in 8 cases and good in 5 cases. Overall effectiveness rate was 100%. Out of 10 patients with simple acute UTI evaluated on over 5-day administration, the results were excellent in 9 cases and good in 1 case. Overall effectiveness rate was 100%. Out of 14 patients with simple acute UTI evaluated by our own criteria because their bacteriological response is unknown, the results were excellent in 7 cases and good in 7 cases. Overall effectiveness rate was 100%. Out of 12 patients with chronic complicated UTI evaluated by the UTI criteria, the results were excellent in 6 cases, good in 3 cases and poor in 3 cases. Overall effectiveness rate was 75.0%. Poor effective cases were mainly found in ones with mixed infection. Sensitivity test using discs did not always correspond to the bacteriological effect in cases with chronic complicated UTI. An adverse reaction was noted in 3 patients (6.1%). Two cases had gastrointestinal symptoms and 1 case had skin eruption. All symptoms were readily improved after discontinuing administration. From the above results, Enoxacin was considered to be a useful agent for urinary tract infection.
