AUREOMYCIN IN THE TREATMENT OF RESISTANT BACILLURIA

[摘要] Ten children with urinary tract infections (eight of which were due to Esch, coli and two with a mixed infection caused by Esch. coli and Staph. aureus) were treated with aureomycin. The dosage ranged from 30 to 60 mg./kg./day in a four hour divided dosage schedule. The urine culture in 9 of the 10 patients became sterile within 48 hours while the 10th became negative in four days. There was a concomitant disappearance of pyuria and a subsidence of symptoms after initiation of therapy. Three of the patients, one of whom had a bladder neck obstruction, relapsed following discontinuation of aureomycin.
