Comparison of ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in the short-term treatment of urinary tract infection.

Two groups, each of 20 patients, with urinary tract infection were randomly chosen and treated according to a double-blind procedure with either ampicillin, 500 mg, or trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole, either drug being given 4 times daily for 10 days. A number of features of the infections were studied: the occurrence of single or multiple attacks, the presence or absence of complications whether the lower or upper urinary tract was affected, favourably with ampicillin in sterilizing the urine of patients and the bacteria involved. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was found to compare with multiple and complicated urinary tract infections during a follow-up period of 3 months.

Treatment of renal failure from diabetic nephropathy with cadaveric homograft.

We report two patients with terminal renal failure secondary to diabetic nephropathy treated with cadaveric kidney transplantation. Neither of these patients had peripheral vascular disease or peripheral neuropathy. There was a proliferative diabetic retinopathy with hemorrhages and exudates in one patient and only background diabetic changes in the ocular fundi of the other; there have been no significant changes in visual acuity or retinopathy in either patient following the transplantation. Both have good kidney function after 8 and 15 months and are completely rehabilitated.The requirement for insulin decreased in both patients during the period of renal insufficiency and increased following transplantation; this seemed to be related to the large dose of steroids given because now that a maintenance level of steroids has been established, both patients require the same dosage of insulin as they did before the onset of renal insufficiency.
