Objective. To investigate the features of therapy and to evaluate its efficiency for acute uncomplicated cystitis in pregnant women and puerperas.
Matetials and methods. The investigation enrolled 46 pregnant women and 10 puerperas with acute uncomplicated cystitis. All the patients underwent clinical and laboratory examination and received therapy with fosfomycin trometamol at a single 3-g dose.
Results. Fosfomycin demonstrated a significant efficacy: there was regression of clinical symptoms in 96.4% of the patients and complete pathogen elimination in 94.6%; there were no recurrent cystitis at a 3-month follow-up after therapy. Neither side effects nor adverse reactions were found; a high compliance to therapy was noted.
Conclusion. The first-line empirical treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis in pregnant women and puerperas is single-dose fosfomycin trometamol that exceeds antibacterial drugs in a long-term dosage regimen in terms of convenience of use.
