Azithromycin in the Treatment of Ch. Trachomatis Asymptomatic Urogenital Infections

Abstract

Važnost otkrivanja i liječenja osoba s asimptomatskom infekcijom klamidijom trahomatis (KT) jest u prevenciji širenja infekcije i nastanka komplikacija infekcije u samih tih osoba. Cilj ovog rada bio je pronaći najučinkovitiju antimikrobnu terapiju asimptomatske urogenitalne klamidijske infekcije. U svih je bolesnika prema listi randomizacije primijenjena antimikrobna terapija, i to: 1) azitromicin 1 x 1,0 g, 2) azitromicin 1 x 0,5 g tijekom 6 dana; 3) doksiciklin 2 x 100 mg tijekom 7 dana i 4) doksiciklin 2 x 100 mg tijekom 14 dana. Bakteriološka ocjena djelotvornosti primijenjene terapije procijenjena je 3-4 tjedna nakon završenog liječenja. Kako ne postoji decidirani stav o liječenju asimptomatskih urogenitalnih infekcija klamidijom trahomatis, to je nakon provedenog antimikrobnog liječenja nužno provjeriti djelotvornost provedenog liječenja.The detection and treatment of persons with asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection is important in preventing the infection spread and the development of its complications. Objectives: To find the most effective antimicrobial therapy for the treatment of asymptomatic urogenital infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. The patients were randomized into 4 groups regarding antimicrobial therapy: 1) azithromycin 1x1.0 g in a single dose, 2) azithromycin 1x0.5 g for 6 days, 3) doxycycline 2x100 mg for 7 days, 4) doxycycline 2x100 mg for 14 days. Bacteriological efficacy was evaluated 3-4 weeks after the end of the treatment. There was no significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Since no consensus has been reached on the treatment of asymptomatic CT urogenital infections and different therapy regimens, we recommend that the therapy efficacy be evaluated in every single case by one of the standardized microbiological methods
