[Dioxidine and carbenicillin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyelonephritis in rats]

Dioxidine (50 mg/kg a day) and carbenicillin (500 mg/kg a day) administered to rats with Ps. aeruginosa hematogenic pyelonephritis for 7 days brought about high therapeutic effect accompanied by bacteremia elimination, noticeable reduction of bacteriuria and dissemination of renal tissue, by improvement of the histological structure of the kidneys as compared with untreated animals. Complete recovery of all the animals (sterilization of the urine and tissue of both the kidneys), and abolition of pyelonephritis signs in the histological structure of the kidneys are attained as a result of combined use of dioxidine and carbenicillin in doses 25 and 250 mg/kg, respectively.
