title: [Clinical evaluations of ofloxacin in the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in adults].
abstract: We studied the clinical efficacy of ofloxacin (OFLX) in the treatment of 13 cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. OFLX was given to each patient orally at 200 mg/dose, 3 doses daily. One case was excluded because of a side effect i.e., nausea. In 12 evaluable cases, the clinical efficacy rate was 100% i.e., excellent in 7, good in 5. OFLX is one of the useful drugs in the treatment of M. pneumoniae pneumonia.
