In this prospective, randomized study, the efficacy of one dose ceftriaxone or 48 hour cephradine therapy was compared to a control group to prevent urinary infection in 179 patients undergoing TUS. Only patients with low risk of developing infections were included. Both cephalosporins significantly reduced the incidence of UTI (ceftriaxone 11.9%, cephradine 17.6% compared to controls 47.2%; p less than 0.0005). Ceftriaxone seemed to have the definite edge in antibacterial spectrum and was easier to administer. Both regimens were well tolerated. Culture of prostatic chips did not have any significant predictive value to determine which patients would develop UTI. |
