[Antibiotic prophylaxis with netilmicin in patients undergoing cystoscopic study].
Thirty adults of either sex, in several cases affected by severe urinary pathology, underwent check cystoscopy. An intramuscular injection of netilmicin 200 mg was administered one hour before the diagnostic procedure as antibiotic prophylaxis. Treated patients were controlled up to three months after cystoscopy, in order to verify the presence of urinary infections. Data obtained proved the efficacy of netilmicin in preventing postcystoscopy urinary infections in 87% of the cases. Safety was very good in all patients.
