Disease relevance of Parametritis

The efficacy of 500 mg pivampicillin twice daily, 350 mg pivampicillin 3-times daily and 100 mg doxycycline daily was compared in 106 patients with salpingitis, parametritis or endometritis [1].

High impact information on Parametritis

Fifty-eight percent of the patients with pelvic cellulitis who were treated with penicillin-gentamicin responded favorably, in comparison to 50% of the patients treated with cefoxitin [2].
Significant infectious complications (pelvic cellulitis, vaginal cuff abscess, pelvic abscess) were observed in 9 (18.4%) of the 49 placebo patients, but in only 3 (6.1%) of the 49 tinidazole-treated patients [3].
