title: [A new therapeutic strategy using a ofloxacin-amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination in the treatment of upper gynecologic infections. Apropos of 123 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate a new antibiotic strategy with a combination of ofloxacin + co-amoxiclav in the treatment of pelvic infectious diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  An open-non-comparative multicentre (10) study.
  
  
  METHODS
  123 patients (118 salpingitis and 5 endometritis) were included clinical, laparoscopic and bacteriological assessments were performed before treatment and a laparoscopic control was done in 35% of cases. Among positive bacteriological samples before treatment 48.7% C. trachomatis were isolated; 56.1% of salpingitis were considered as severe (COGIT score > 6).
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients received at entry oral ofloxacin 200 mg bid in combination with parenteral co-amoxiclav 2 to 4 g following by oral route. Total duration of treatment was 21 days.
  
  
  RESULTS
  With respectively 97.2% and 91.6% satisfactory clinical and bacteriological results, this combination should take a major place in the treatment of pelvic infectious diseases.
