Fleroxacin in the treatment of uncomplicated acute cystitis in women.

Twenty-four women with uncomplicated acute lower urinary tract infections proven by significant pretreatment bacteriuria (greater than or equal to 10(5) cfu/ml) were treated with a single oral dose of either 200 or 400 mg fleroxacin. Patients were checked for response to treatment five to nine days post therapy. Of the 24 patients initially included in the study, five were not available for assessment of efficacy. In 17 of the remaining 19 women bacteriological cure was achieved.
