    Abstract:
    Ofloxacin was used in the complex therapy of acute inflammatory diseases of the uterus and uterine appendages. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 15 patients treated with ofloxacin in a dose of 200 mg administered intravenously twice a day for 4 to 6 days. After that period the drug was used orally in the same dosage for 4 to 6 days. Group II was control and included 20 patients treated with some other broad spectrum antibiotics such as amplox, gentamicin and 3rd generation cephalosporins. Because of the disease severity in 33 patients they were subjected to surgical operations. The clinical recovery was stated in all the 35 patients. However, by a complex of the indices the efficacy of ofloxacin was higher than that of the other antibiotics. An improvement of the general state (no headache or weakness and normalization of the body temperature) was observed in the patients of group I 2-3 days earlier as compared to the patients of group II. Purulent discharge from the genitalia ceased 3-4 days earlier in the patients of group I by comparison with the control patients. Good tolerance of ofloxacin was observed and no severe adverse reactions were recorded.
