Abstract
Study design: Case report.
Objectives: To describe a case of successful organ-preserving treatment of an epididymal abscess in a tetraplegic patient.
Setting: Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Centre in Switzerland.
Methods: We present the clinical course of a patient with an epididymal abscess caused by multiresistant bacteria. As the patient declined surgical intervention, a conservative approach was induced with intravenous antibiotic treatment. As the clinical findings did not ameliorate, adjunctive homeopathic treatment was used.
Results: Under combined treatment, laboratory parameters returned to normal, and the epididymal abscess was rapidly shrinking. After 1 week, merely a subcutaneous liquid structure was detected. Fine-needle aspiration revealed sterile purulent liquid, which was confirmed by microbiological testing when the subcutaneous abscess was drained. Postoperative course was uneventful.
Conclusions: As the risk for recurrent epididymitis is high in persons with spinal cord injury, an organ-preserving approach is justified even in severe cases. Homeopathic treatment was a valuable adjunctive treatment in the above-mentioned case. Therefore, prospective studies are needed to further elucidate the future opportunities and limitations of classical homeopathy in the treatment of urinary tract infections.[*/quote*]

"Owing to the progressive inflammation despite norfloxacin treatment, intravenous antibiotic treatment with imipenem and local measures (cooling, immobilization) were initiated. As both the abscess and the blood parameters remained unchanged after 3 days, epididymectomy/orchiectomy was proposed, which was rejected by the patient. Therefore, we initiated homeopathic treatment with Hamamelis virginiana C30, three times daily for 4 days, followed by Hamamelis C 200 two times daily for another 5 days. Under homeopathic treatment, the abscess became significantly smaller within 3 days and the infection parameters were decreasing."
"The quick amelioration of both the clinical symptoms and the sonographic findings demonstrated that homeopathic treatment might have significantly aided in the recovery.
"We used classical homeopathy. In brief, this term comprises that a single remedy was selected based on the totality of signs and symptoms of the individual patient."
"Homeopathic treatment might have been a valuable adjunctive treatment in the mentioned case. Therefore, prospective studies are needed to further elucidate the future opportunities and limitations of classical homeopathy as an adjunct in the treatment of UTI [urinary tract infection]."

Das ist der Irrsinn schlechthin. Die sind ein Fall für den Knast.
Hätte Hahnemann Kaugummikauen empfohlen, würden heute Alle Kaugummi kauen gegen ihre Wehwehchen. Operationen gäbe es mit Wrickelei's Fünffachstreifen. Wie bei den Hühnerblutchirurgen.
