title: [Clinical experience with gentamicin in complicated urinary tract infections (author's transl)].
abstract: Gentamicin (GM) was intramuscularly administrated to 25 patients with complicated urinary tract infections in doses of 20-120 mg a day for 4-16 days. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The clinical results of GM were excellent in 4, good in 3, fair in 1, poor in 3 and indeterminate in 14 patients out of 25 patients. The effective percentage was 63.6% (7/11). 2. The clinical results of GM against 20 isolates were excellent in 4, good in 3, fair in 1, poor in 3 and indeterminate in 9 isolates. The effective percentage was 63.6% (7/11). 3. In laboratory examinations, BUN elevation was noted in 1 patient, GOT elevation in 2 patients and GPT elevation in 1 patient during GM therapy. No other abnormal findings were observed in this clinical study.
