Zusammenfassung

Im Rahmen einer offenen Studie erhielten erwachsene Patienten mit Atemwegsinfektionen 2×200 mg Ofloxacin oral, die 60 Protokolle waren auswertbar. 36 Patienten litten an Bronchitis, bei 44 lag eine ambulant erworbene Pneumonie vor. Die Behandlungsdauer bei Bronchitis betrug durchschnittlich neun Tage, bei Pneumonie 12 Tage. Als Erreger wurden bei BronchitisHaemophilus influenzae (n=25),Streptococcus pneumoniae (n=18),Branhamella catarrhalis (n=2) undPasteurella multocida (n=1) aus Sputum isoliert.H. influenzae wurde in 17 Fällen undS. pneumoniae in 12 Fällen eliminiert. Bei den Patienten mit Pneumonie gelang ein Erregernachweis nur in 20 Fällen (S. pneumoniae), alle wurden eliminiert. Bei 32 der 36 Patienten mit Bronchitis und 33 der 44 Patienten mit Pneumonie wurde eine Heilung bzw. Besserung der klinischen Symptomatik unter Therapie mit Ofloxacin beobachtet.

Summary

In an open clinical trial, out-patients with respiratory tract infections were given 200 mg ofloxacin b. i. d. orally. 36 had acute bronchitis and pneumonia was diagnosed in 44. The average duration of therapy was nine days for bronchitis and 12 days for pneumonia. In the sputum of bronchitis patients,Haemophilus influenzae (n=25),Streptococcus pneumoniae (n=18),Branhamella catarrhalis (n=2) andPasteurella multocida (n=1) were isolated. 17H. influenzae and 12S. pneumoniae were eliminated. All 20S. pneumoniae strains isolated from patients with pneumonia were eliminated. A cure or improvement of clinical symptoms was seen in 32 of 36 cases of bronchitis and in 33 of 44 cases of pneumonia treated with ofloxacin.
