title: [Clinical evaluation of antibiotics in gynecologic infections].
abstract: The clinical effects of antibiotics (lincomycin, cefotaxime, ceftizoxime, piperacillin, fosfomycin, cefmenoxime, cefotetan, cefbuperazone, cefpiramide and ceftazidime) were evaluated in gynecologic infections. 1. A total of 161 patients with gynecologic infections was treated with each antibiotic and an overall response rate was 150/161 (93.2%). The efficacy rate was 72/78 (92.3%) in intrauterine infection, 29/31 (93.5%) in uterine adnexitis, 22/25 (88.0%) in intrapelvic infection and 27/27 (100%) in external genital infection. 2. Each antibiotic proved bacteriologically effective in 94.3% of the patients with simple intrauterine infection, in 84.0% of patients with mixed intrauterine infection, in 100% of 6 patients with uterine adnexitis, in 100% of 11 with intrapelvic infection and in 100% of 25 with external genital infection. There were 160 isolated organisms with clinical effective rate of 93.8%. Eleven (6.8%) of 161 patients had infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and all of them showed clinical response to therapy.
