Anaerobic bacteria in men with urethritis.

AIM: Investigation of the urethral flora in men with urethritis, with particular reference to anaerobic bacteria. METHODS: Multiple cultures were performed on three urethral samples from 110 men attending the STD Clinic of the School of Medicine in Seville: 35 with no evidence of urethritis (control group), and 75 with urethritis (17 gonococcal urethritis (GU) and 58 non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU)). In the 58 men with NGU, Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated in 16 (27.5%), Ureaplasma urealyticum in 18 (31%), Trichomonas vaginalis in two (3.4%) and no pathogens were isolated in the remaining 22 (38%) patients. RESULTS: Aerobic flora, mainly Staphylococcus spp., were isolated less frequently (41%) in patients with GU than in the control group (80%), and those with NGU (72%). Anaerobic flora were isolated in 62% of patients, with similar isolation rates in each group. Gram-negative anaerobes were more frequently isolated in men with urethritis, especially NGU, compared to controls (P < 0.05). Prevotella spp. and Bacteroides spp. were significantly more frequently isolated in patients with NGU, including Chlamydia-negative NGU. Fusobacterium spp. were more frequent in the Chlamydia-positive NGU than in the controls (P < 0.05). P. magnus was the most frequent anaerobic species found in the control group, while P. prevotii was most frequently seen in the urethritis group. B. ureolyticus, P. prevotii and P. tetradius were more frequent on the NGU group (P < 0.05). B. ureolyticus was commoner in patients with Chlamydia-negative NGU, while P. tetradius and P. asaccharolytica was commoner in those where C. trachomatis was isolated than in the control group. CONCLUSION: Urethral microflora isolated showed ten bacterial genus and 25 different species of anaerobes. The spectrum of these microflora changed with the presence of urethritis and varied with its aetiology.

[Wells syndrome (3 cases)].

This report describes three cases of eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) observed during six years. In the author's opinion this condition is not frequent, but neither exceptional. A revision of clinico-pathological, etiopathogenic and therapeutics aspects is carried out.

Clinical efficacy of new quinolones for therapy of nongonococcal urethritis.

Ninety-five patients with nongonococcal urethritis were enrolled in a double-blind study and were randomly assigned to a one-week treatment with ciprofloxacin (500 mg twice daily) or ofloxacin (200 mg twice daily). Two weeks after treatment the results obtained for the 79 evaluated patients were as follows: 59 patients (75%) were clinically cured, and of the 54 patients with initial positive cultures, 39 (72%) remained culture-negative. We did not find any statistically significant differences between the results obtained with the two treatments. These results did not vary with the cause. Patient compliance with the regimens of two doses per day was excellent, and no serious adverse effects occurred with either drug.
