Abstract

A randomised trial was undertaken to compare the efficacy of netilmicin and ceftriaxone for the treatment of severe or complicated urinary tract infections. Forty-seven patients completed the study. Twenty-three of 24 patients treated with netilmicin and 21 of 23 treated with ceftriaxone were cured. One patient treated with netilmicin had a mild, reversible disturbance of renal function. Six patients developed diarrhoea after ceftriaxone treatment.
