Introduction. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common disease among women.Aim. To determine the efficacy and tolerability of furazidin in the treatment of patients with exacerbation of chronic recurrent cystitis.Material and methods. a purpose was to determine the efficacy and tolerance of furazidin in the treatment of patients with chronic recurrent cystitis. In the study 56 female patients were enrolled, 28 of whom received ciprofloxacin (CG) and 28 – furazidin (FG). The patients received furazidin 100 mg three times a day for seven days (FG) or 500 mg of ciprofloxacin twice a day for seven days (CG). As well we analyzed the histories of 37 patients with bladder tuberculosis (TMP) stage 4in order to estimate the negative effect of non-optimal antibiotic therapy for UTI on the timely diagnosis of urogenital tuberculosis.Results. At the end of antibacterial therapy, dysuria persisted in one patient in the FG and in two in the CG. Urinalysis was normal in both groups in 96.4% of patients. The growth of uropathogens was in one case in each group. For 6 months, there were 5 recurrence episodes in the FG, and there were 11 relapses in the CG (p < 0.05). There were no side effects in the FG, but in the CG, adverse reactions developed in 9 patients (32.1%). Patients with TMP had annually from 4 to 7 exacerbations of cystitis, fluoroquinolones were prescribed to all; none investigations for M. tuberculosis were performed. Conclusion. Immediate results did not show statistically significant differences between the groups of patients treated with furazidin and ciprofloxacin, however, the tolerance of ciprofloxacin was lower (p >< 0.01). Long-term results have demonstrated a significant advantage of furazidin in the complex treatment of recurrent cystitis. All cases of stage 4 TMP are iatrogenic; an irreversible disabling complication was developed as a result of non-optimal therapy (primarily fluoroquinolones) for UTIs, which hided tuberculosis. >< 0.05).
