持続勃起症症例追加 (附:蛋白分解酵素による治療について)

Abstract

Two cases of priapism recently experienced were repor t e d. Case 1, a 41-year-old male, had epilepsy and Case 2, a 35-year-old male, was suffering from chronic alcoholism, hence they were both diagnosed as neurogenic secondary priapism. Review of literatures made us interested in the excellent effectiveness of some proteolytic enzymes, among conservative therapeutic measures, for the treatment of the disease. Thus, a-kimotrypsin buccal tablets were given to Case 1 and combined oral tablets of streptokinase and streptodornase was given to Case 2, with which complete disappearance of priapism and recovery of normal potency were attained successfully in both cases. The proteolytic enzymes thus demonstrated their usefulness in the conserva t ive treatment of priapism, and it is desirable to use them as early as possible.
