Abstract
During the past 15 months, 126 college coeds, ages 18-22 years, with culture proven acute symptomatic urinary tract infections (at least 2 cultures > 100,000 col/ml) were treated with either NegGram 1.0 Gm QID × 7 days or Septra 2 tab. BID × 10 days.
A comparison of the recurrence rates for the total groups (T.G.) of each medication was not statistically different. Further analysis demonstrated that Septra was no more effective than NegGram during the first 6 months of follow-up in the treatment of upper urinary tract infections (FAT pos.) and lower urinary tract infections (FAT neg.).
