Treatment of candidal urinary tract infection with nifuratel.

چکیده
Three patients with candidal urinary tract infections were successfully treated with oral nifuratel, a nitrofuran antimicrobial agent active against yeast and Trichomonas as well as urinary bacterial pathogens. The recommended dose is 400 mg thrice daily for a week. No side effects that could be attributed to the treatment were noted. Minimum ibhibitory concentration determinations for nifuratel against Candida strains of five species showed that 48 out of 59 organisms were inhibited by 50 mg/1 or less, the three strains of Candida species eliminated from our treated patients having MICs of nifuratel in the range of 10-50 mg/1.

However, there has always been the occasional case in which even very large doses of Flag...

The minimum inhibitory concentrations of nifuratel for 205 randomly selected isolates from urinary tract infections were tested by tube dilution. Of these, 177 (86.3%) were resistant to more than 6 mug/ml and 140 of 141 (99.3%) strains of Escherichia coli were resistant to more than 3 mug/ml. Urine levels of nifuratel were examined in two groups: one group had 400 mg given once and the other gr...
