title: Efficacy of miocamycin in the therapy of non-specific genital infections (NSGI): non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) and acute urethral syndrome (AUS).
abstract: The therapeutic efficacy of miocamycin against Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis was the object of this study. Two different groups of patients were included in the trial: 40 males and 20 females affected by NGU and AUS respectively. All the patients positive for chlamydiae and/or ureaplasmas received 1200 mg/die of miocamycin for 12 days; a microbiological examination was performed 5 days from the end of the therapy. The therapy with miocamycin caused the resolution of both symptoms and microorganisms present. The use of miocamycin in current therapy could be favourable.
