title: [Enoxacin in the treatment of bacterial infections of the respiratory system].
abstract: The above study was carried out in 30 patients, 22 males, 8 females, aged between 30 and 66 years, average age 57.17 +/- 1.43 years, 19 of whom with flare-ups of chronic or asthmatic bronchitis, 6 suffering from flare-ups of chronic bronchoectasic bronchitis, and 5 with acute tracheobronchitis. Treatment with two 300 mg tablets of enoxacin daily lasted from 10 to 15 days. The clinical result was good in 95% of the cases, and microbiological results were also satisfactory in that the micro-organisms isolated were sensitive to the antibiotic. Tolerance was good both locally and generally, only two patients complained of slight stomach discomfort. Both symptoms and laboratory findings improved progressively, and the result was considered excellent in four cases, good in 25 and only fair in one.
