[Treatment of recurrent urogenital infections by immunomodulation]

In recurrent urogenital infections in which no curable cause can be found, long term antibiotic therapy is often the only possible form of treatment. After performing appropriate skin tests, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of vaccination consisting of antigen therapy and an immunostimulant, P 40, in 20 patients. The recurrent infections were controlled in the cases in which this combination was used; in half of the cases, maintenance vaccination was required for a period of 2 or 3 years.
