Comparison of Clinical Efficacy between Pazufloxacin and Levofloxacin in the Treatment of Urinary Infection
Abstract
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between pazufloxacin and levofloxacin in the treatment of urinary infection. Methods Sixty patients with urinary tract infection were randomised into two groups evenly (n=30), the pazufloxacin group and the levofloxacin group. The pazufloxacin group were given pazufloxacin 0.3 g iv, bid,and the levofloxacin group levofloxacin 0.2 g iv, bid. The treatment period was 5～14 d. Results The effective rate in pazufloxacin group was (96.4%), and in levofloxacin group (92.6%.) The cured rates in pazufloxacin group was 85.7% and in levofloxacin group 70.4%. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P0.05). Conclusion Pazufloxacin has the same efficacy as levofloxacin in the treatment of urinary tract infection.
