An experimental study of the treatment of bacterial epididymitis.
Two groups of rats were treated for epididymitis in an experimental study. The developing infection of E. coli was treated effectively by a single dose of cephalosporin in one group of rats. In the other group, where abscess formation had taken place, no effect of up to 9 days of treatment could be demonstrated, indicating the importance of early antibiotic treatment in bacterial epididymitis.
