Treatment Of Non-specific Urethritis Research Articles

Management of non-specific urethritis in men. Evaluation of six treatment regimens and effect of other factors including alcohol and sexual intercourse.

A trial comparing the efficacy of three different tetracyclines, each in two different dosage regimens, in the treatment of non-specific urethritis is described. There was a significant association between the retreatment rate and sexual intercourse. Age, race, duration of symptoms, previous infection, and indulgence in alcohol did not appear to influence the results whereas treatment of sexual contacts before resumption of sexual intercourse significantly reduced the retreatment rate. Single-dose treatment with doxycycline was shown to be ineffective. Treatment with doxycycline for seven days or triple tetracycline for seven days was less effective than triple tetracycline for 21 days or oxytetracyline for seven or 21 days, all of which gave the same success rate.

Nonspecific urethritis: its current status.

Abstract The etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of nonspecific urethritis (N.S.U.) is discussed. Chlamydia seems to be responsible for approximately 40–50% of cases while the etiology of the remainder remains obscrue. There seems to be reasonably good evidence for venereal transmission as well as for treatment of the female partner whether symptomatic or asymptomatic. Tetracyline given for 21 days or oxytetracycline given for four days seem to be the most effective first line treatment regimens at this time. Complications which include prostatitis, epididymitis, urethral stricture, and Reiter's Syndrome, are discussed. It appears as though there is a reasonable possibility that Reiter's Syndrome is a separate entity (or immunological sequela) rather than a complication.

The role of tetracyclines in the treatment of non-specific urethritis.

An asssessment of the clinical findings and treatment in 400 patients with non-specific urethritis (NSU) is reported, and the effect of treating their contacts is analysed. Three tetracyclines were compared ina randomised trial which showed that low-dose oxytetracycline (250 mg twice a day) was as effective as preparations formulated specifically for twice daily administration (triple tetracycline and sustained-release tetracycline hydrochloride). The question of multiple aetiology was explored by testing statistically whether various clinical features such as age, incubation period, severity of symptoms, and previous infection were related to outcome. No subgrouping of the condition could be found. Clinical relapse proved to be independent of empirical treatment of asymptomatic contacts, which therefore appeared not to confer any benefit on either partner. It is suggested that the infective aspect of NSU is readily controlled, and that other factors, probably psychological, determine relapse.

THE TREATMENT OF NON‐SPECIFIC URETHRITIS

The treatment of non-specific urethritis should aim at curing the individual, preventing reinfection and eliminating the pool of infection from the community. Tetracyclines, the rubber condom and sound advice are the basis of treatment. Many patients have symptoms that arise from anxiety and guilt rather than from infection, and this possibility calls for special consideration. It is emphasized that non-specific urethritis can be eliminated from our community by existing means. The favourable outlook merits an active and positive approach to treatment.
