[Treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory diseases with a new antibiotic compound preparation (author's transl)].

48 patients with acute pelvic inflammatory diseases (35 cases of acute adnexitis and 13 cases of inflammatory adnexal tumours) were treated with an antibiotic combination of Ampicillin/Oxacillin and Sisomicin. As initial parenteral therapy Ampicillin/Oxacillin 3.0 g was given intravenously twice daily and additionally Sisomicin 75 or 100 mg according to the body-weight was administered intramuscular twice daily. If required a further oral treatment with 500 mg Ampicillin/Dicloxacillin capsules four times a day was carried out. The average duration of parenteral treatment was 6.3 days; together with the oral treatment the duration of antibiotic treatment was 18.5 days. In 43 patients (89.6%) the disease could be cured completely or a distinct improvement could be achieved. Only in 5 cases (10.4%) the results were unsatisfactory. As side-effects allergic reactions were observed in three cases and gastro-enteritis in one case.
