[The clinical effect of fosfomycin on cystitis].
Fosfomycin (FOM) is an antibiotic which inhibits phospho(enol)pyruvic acid transferase. Fifty-five patients with cystitis were treated with the drug for 7 days, at oral doses of 1 g for 3 times a day. Adult females under 70 years of age, visiting the clinic within 2 weeks after the onset, were classified as cases with typical simple cystitis with confirming the bladder irritability, pyuria and bacteriuria. The treatment was effective for 95.0% of these cases. Two cases with atypical cystitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae poorly responded to the drug.
