Abstract
|
|
|
The efficacy of Trobicin in the treatment of gonorrhea was evaluated in the Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital from October 1, 1972 to January 31, 1973.
Seventy five cases of acute gonorrhea in both sex were subjected in this study. Fifty five cases were returned for the follow-up study, 48 hours and 7 days after the injection.
A single dose of Trobicin 2.0gm. I. M. was given to all patients who were confirmed as gonorrhea by Gram stain and bacterial culture in chocolate media.
The success was assessed by subsidence of subjective symptoms and bacteriological study in the 7 days after the treatment.
The cure rate was 95.7% in male and 87.5% in female and the overall cure rate of Torbicine was 94.5% in acute gonorrhea.
No particular side effects or reactions were observed except mild pain on injection site.
It is considered that Trobicin is one of the most effective drugs in the treatment of acute gonorrhea and a single injection of Trobicin 2. 0 gm. in both sex offers a suitable alternative to penicillin in the treatment of acute gonorrhea.
