Ofloxacin vs. cotrimoxazole in patients with complicated urinary tract infections
Abstract
A simple open randomized study was performed to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of ofloxacin and cotrimoxazole in 40 patients with complicated urinary tract infections. In these patients ofloxacin produced better clinical results than cotrimoxazole. The results were also excellent when cotrimoxazole-resistant strains were involved, even in immunocompromised hosts.
