RESUMO
This general practice study compared a 3-day course of a new preparation, Mictral, with a standard 7-day course of ampicillin in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection. Mictral achieved bacteriological cure in all infected patients by Day 4 while only 69% of infected patients in the ampicillin group were abacteriuric by Day 8. Symptomatic relief and the incidence of side-effects were similar for both groups. It is concluded that Mictral appears to be a useful addition to currently available therapy for urinary tract infection and merits further investigation.

Ulceration of the small intestine is rare, perforation of such ulcers is also rare, and repeated perforation is still rarer. A case with this history is presented, and the aetiology of such cases briefly discussed, as the current literature gives a varied emphasis regarding the important causes of ulceration of the small intestine.
