Abstract
Objective. To investigate the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of nifuratel in the therapy of urinary tract infections. Materials and methods. This systematic review includes all studies published in English and Russian for the period 1969-2020 that assessed the effectiveness of nifuratel in the treatment of lower urinary tract infections (LUTI) in women, including pregnant women. The review was written using the PRISMA checklist. The analysis involved randomized and nonrandomized original clinical trials (prospective controlled, prospective cohort, retrospective studies, etc.) and case series studies that included at least 10patients. Results. After searching for and excluding duplicates, 192 publications were included in the screening, of which 169 ones were excluded by reviewing the title and abstract. A total of 9 studies were obtained for qualitative synthesis, 7 of them were clinical ones that included the analysis of 442patients. Conclusion. The systematic review shows that the efficacy of nifuratel as a drug for the therapy of urinary tract infections is comparable and sometimes superior to that of other antibiotics. Nifuratel shows more pronounced therapeutic efficacy and better tolerability compared to nitrofurantoin. Today, it is impossible to consider LUTI in women in isolation and not take into account the state of biocenosis of the vagina and intestines. Nifuratel is also interesting in that it has a spectrum of activity not only with respect to the main uropathogens, but also the causative agents of individual vaginal infections and is suitable for the treatment of acute and chronic LUTI. However, there remains a need to conduct a large number of randomized controlled trials, as well as to examine the safety profile for renal failure and in the elderly.
