title: [Proposal for a new therapeutic strategy in high genital infections].
abstract: 78 cases of acute salpingitis were treated with the association Oflocet-Augmentin in a multicenter study. An accurate clinical and bacteriological evaluation was carried out prior to the treatment and a control laparoscopy was performed in 31 cases. A Chlamydia infection was responsible in 56 p. cent of the cases; only one bacteria was identified in 56 cases and an association of two or three bacteria in 15 cases; in 7 cases, no bacteria was identified. The antibiotic association was effective in 96 p. cent of the cases, with a good clinical and biological tolerance. Three failure were reported: one in an infection secondary to a non identified bacteria, and two in Chlamydia infections where, despite the clinical cure, a positive culture persisted in the abdomen. The association Oflocet-Augmentation is therefore recommended in the treatment of high genital infections.
