title: [Early antibiotic therapy following urodynamic examination. Results of a randomized, controlled study].
abstract: Forty-three young men from the Italian army underwent urodynamic tests following the diagnosis of enuresis. Of these, 37 were included in an assessment trial to define the rationale for early anti-bacterial therapy following the test. The subjects were subdivided into two groups: one group received 500 mg Cinoxacin b.i.d. for 5 days, and the other group was not treated. The comparison of results revealed a high incidence of irritative disorders in both groups (78.9% of treated subjects and 88.9% of untreated subjects) but the most significant complications were observed in the untreated group (feveret in 27.7% and one case of septic fever). Early anti-bacterial therapy following standard urodynamic tests therefore seems to be a ration tool in urological practice.
