Toward the therapy of uterine gonorrhea. Zieler (Deut. med. Woch, 1928, No. 1)

Zieler arrives at the following points on this subject: 1) Local treatment of the cervical canal, resp. uterus, after the first acute phenomena have passed, is the most expedient way to achieve the cure of the disease with the avoidance of complications. (2) A necessary condition for this is rest of the internal organs, achieved by the administration of atropine or papaverine. (3) Of the various methods of irritant therapy, only the use of the gonococcal vaccine is of known value, as an auxiliary method. (4) During menses, as well as immediately before and after them, all treatment must be interrupted, including the use of agents acting on the general condition, if they cause fever.
