antimicrobial only therapy: 20 received carbenicillin and 10 clindamycin. There was
excellent to good response to therapy in 46.67% of the patients treated Carbencillin
and in 36.67% treated clindamycin here was a relieved from symptoms for up to one
year. There were statistical differences in response to therapy in the two groups treated.
