Ceftazidime vs. tobramycin for serious infections in urological patients.

A prospective, randomized study was undertaken to compare the efficacy and safety of tobramycin and ceftazidime in the treatment of serious infections in 77 urological patients. Of the 39 tobramycin-treated and 38 ceftazidime-treated patients, 74% and 82%, respectively, were cured clinically. Microbiological cure rates were 72% and 79%, respectively. Three patients treated with tobramycin and two treated with ceftazidime developed a significant superinfection. Both drugs were tolerated well. Because of potential ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity the use of aminoglycosides is less advantageous than ceftazidime for seriously infected urological patients.

Rupture of the penis.

Traumatic rupture of the penis is a rare accident. One or both corpora cavernosa may be affected. Approximately one third of the cases are associated with rupture of the urethra. In view of previous studies, and the present case reports both of which occurred during the same night, the authors propose primary surgical repair of the corpora cavernosa.
