性器ヘルペス154例の疫学的検討とアシクロビル錠による治療学的検討を行った.1)性器ヘルペスは近年増加傾向にあった.2)皮疹の範囲と鼠径リンパ節腫脹は初発では両側に, 再発では片側にみられることが多かった.3)皮疹の性状は初発では散在性に広がり, 再発では集簇性に固まってみられることが多かった.4)外陰部痛, 下肢疼痛, 下肢違和感などの局所症状と倦怠感, 食思不振などの全身症状は女性の方が男性より高頻度にみられた.5)発熱, 倦怠感, 食思不振などの全身症状は初発の方が再発よりも高頻度にみられた.6)ウイルス型別ではHSV-1型は初発男性で15.8%, 初発女性で27.7%に認められた.7)直接蛍光抗体法による診断は, ウイルス分離培養法により診断された検体の約60%において診断可能であった, A clinical study for genital herpes was conducted on 154 patients and the efficacy of treatment with oral acyclovir was investigated in 51 of these patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by direct immunofluorescence or viral isolation from the lesion. This disease has increased in both males and females in recent years and was found in 2.3-2.9% of the out-patients examined in 1986. Seventy percent of the patients were between 20 and 30 years old. About 70% of the male patients had phimosis. In patients with the first infection, bilateral eruption (62%) and lymphadenopathy (54%) were more common than unilateral lesions. However, in those with recurrent infection, unilateral eruption (72%) and lymphadenopathy (52%) were more common. Sixty two percent of those with the first infection had scattered eruption on external genitalia, but 71% with recurrent infection, had lesions concentrated in several areas. Local symptoms such as pain in the external genitalia (male: female, 16%: 85%), pain in the lower extremities (26%: 45%), discomfort in the lower extremities (20%: 41%) and systemic symptoms such as malaise (22%: 48%) and anorexia (4%: 35%) were seen more frequently in females than in males. In addition, systemic symptoms such as fever (first episode: recurrent episode, 36%: 4%), malaise (34%: 9%) and anorexia (18%: 2%) were seen more frequently in patients with the first episode than in those with recurrence. HSV type 1 infections were found in 16% of males and 28% of females with the first episode, but were less common in the recurrent episode, 0% and 13%, respectively. Direct immunofluorescence was positive in 75 (59%) of 128 samples diagnosed by viral isolation. Treatment with oral acyclovir tablets, 200 mg five times daily, was very effective in 26 of 30 patients (87%). No side effects were observed. In this study, acyclovir tablet has been shown to be a very effective and well-tolerated treatment for genital herpes infections.

慢性前立腺炎74例に対しnorfloxacin (NFLX) 600 mg/日を原則として4週間投与し検討した.総合臨床効果を前立腺分泌液(EPS)中細菌, 白血球, 自覚症状の3つの要因で判定してみると, グラム陰性桿菌(GNR)群の総合有効率は2週目71.4%, 4週目100%, グラム陽性球菌(GPC)群のそれはそれぞれ79.3%, 88.0%と良好であった.治療前のEPS分離細菌数103CFU/ml未満であった症例の総合臨床効果をEPS中白血球, 自覚症状の2つの要因で判定してみると, その総合有効率は2週目89, The clinical efficacy of norfloxacin (NFLX) was evaluated in 74 patients having chronic prostatitis with the subjective symptoms suggesting the inflammations of prostate and more than five white bloodcells (WBCs)/hpf in their prostatic secretions (EPS). Of these, gram negative rods with greater than or equal to 10(3)CFU/ml (GNR group) were isolated from the EPS in 10 patients (13.6%) and gram positive cocci with greater than or equal to 10(3) CFU/ml (GPC group) were obtained in 46 patients (62.2%). E. coli (70.0%) was the most frequent strain isolated among GNR group and S. epidermidis (40.4%), S. aureus (19.1%), E. faecalis (17.0%) and S. haemolyticus (14.9%) were frequently isolated among the GPC group. The overall clinical efficacy of NFLX was determined at the second and fourth week by the three factors, (1) the effect on bacteria, (2) WBCs in the EPS and (3) the subjective symptoms in the patients with bacteria of greater than or equal to 10(3) CFU/ml being isolated. The overall clinical effectiveness rate was 71.4% and 100%, respectively, in the GNR group. In the GPC group, its rate was 79.3% and 88.0%, respectively. The patients with no bacteria or less than 10(3) CFU/ml isolated from the EPS had an overall clinical effectiveness rate of 89.8% at the second week and 90.0% at the fourth, when it was evaluated by the effect on WBCs and subjective symptoms. In the effect of NFLX on bacteria in the EPS, it eliminated them in 75.0% and 83.9% at the second and fourth week, respectively, of all patients with GNR or GPC of greater than or equal to 10(3) CFU/ml isolated from the EPS. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of NFLX against E. coli isolated from the EPS was distributed from 0.025 microgram/ml to 3.13 micrograms/ml with most below 0.1 microgram/ml. Those against all other GNR were below 0.78 microgram/ml. NFLX showed good antimicrobial activities against GPC with most of MIC being distributed from 0.78 microgram/ml to 1.56 micrograms/ml. NFLX produced the highest eradication rate in bacteriological response not only against GNR such as 100% at the first, the second and fourth week but GPC as 89.2%, 93.8% and 96.0%, respectively. In the effect of NFLX on WBCs in EPS, 40-50% of patients got free from the inflammation of prostate by NFLX treatment. This became prominent in the GNR group as the treatment was continued although not in the GPC group. The subjective symptoms were improved by NFLX treatment in most of the patients.
