SUMMARY
Treatment of pregnant women infected with syphilis with intravenous infusions of penicillin G (2 million units every 12 hours) favors higher concentration of penicillin in blood serum (31 vs. 6-11 mkg/ml) and lower frequency and intensity of adverse effects (2.5 vs. 5.6%) in comparison with intramuscularly injections of benzyl penicillin (0.5-1.0 million units every 3 hours). Penicillin G favored a faster regress of clinical manifestations of syphilis (412 vs. 7-17 days) earlier obtaining negative results of serologic tests, more favorable outcomes of pregnancy if compared to group of patients who received benzyl penicillin. Thus, penicillin G is quite an effective medicine for treatment of pregnant women infected with syphilis.
KEY WORDS: syphilis, pregnancy, treatment, penicillin G, pharmacokinetics, and clinics
INTRODUCTION
The problem of syphilitic infection in pregnant women has become pressing in Eastern Europe and in Ukraine recently [1,2,3]. Inadequate and untimely treatment contributes to the risk of congenital syphilis in their children [3,4]. Treatment syphilis in Ukraine is strictly determined by special Guidelines [5]. Existing methods of treating pregnant women infected with syphilis have considerable drawbacks like, for example, the necessity of administering penicillin eight times every 24 hours, which contributes to growing sensitization of the mother’s and fetus’s organisms [6]. That is why it has become absolutely necessary to develop new methods of specific therapy for syphilitic infection in pregnant women with application of a new generation of preparations from penicillin family. The aim of the present work was to devise a new method of treatment of pregnant women infected with syphilis with penicillin G taking into consideration clinic, serologic features of the disease and pharmacotherapeutic features of this medicine.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
153 pregnant women (aged 16-45) infected with syphilis were observed and treated from 1996 till 1999. An independent «Ethic committee
Group 2 (72 patients) was administered to in tramuscular injections of 1,000,000 units of sodi um salt of benzylpenicillin every 3 hours without night breaks.
of the Health Ministry of Ukraine» approved the trial. Informed, written consent had been obtained from all the patients before they participated in the study. The 153 women were divided into 3 groups according to the type of therapy they were administered to.
Group 1 (40 patients) was administered to penicillin G and benzatinpenicillin. Penicillin G (crystalline, sodium salt) was administered intravenously twice a day, 2 million units every 12 hours. Half an hour before the first injection in penicillin G, an intramuscular injection on prednisolone (30 ng) was administered to the patients. The period of treatment was equal 10 days in case of primary syphilis; to 12 day in case of secondary and early latent syphilis if the patient had been infected for less than 6 months; to 14 days in case of secondary and early latent syphilis if the patient had been infected for more than 6 months. In case of late latent, and latent nonconfirmed syphilis (when the duration of infection was unknown) the treatment consisted of 2 periods (each of them lasted 14 days). The second period of treatment was carried out 3-4 weeks after the first one. Irrespective of the form of syphilis, one intramuscular injection of 2,400,000 units of benzatinpenicillin G was administered (1,200,000 units into each buttock) to the patients 12 hours after the last penicillin G injection.
Group 3 (41 patients) was with intramuscular injections of 500,000 units of benzylpenicillin every 3 hours without night breaks.
According to the direction of the Health Ministry of Ukraine Guidelines [5], and depend-
ing from the form of syphilis, the main course of treatment in Groups 2 and 3 lasted 12 days in cases of primary syphilis, 14 days in cases of fresh secondary syphilis, 18 days in cases of secondary recurrent syphilis, 18 days in cases of early latent syphilis. In cases, of late latent syphilis 2 courses of 18 days each were administered with an interval of 1.5 months.
Concentration of penicillin in blood serum was determined with the help of the method of high performance liquid chromatography. The samples for the investigations were prepared, extracted and purified according to Boatto G. and his co-authors and modified in our laboratory [7]. The concentrating cartridge DIAPACK C16 and BECKMAN chromatograph with the CENAPON SCX C18 4x18 frame were used at the wavelength of 230 nm. The results were treated with the help of the PC program SYSTEM GOLD HPLC-P/ACE. The following pharmacokinetical values were determined: Cmax - the maximum concentration in blood serum; Tmax - the time of gaining the maximum concentration; Cm - the average concentration in blood serum within the period of observation; T1/2 - the half-life period,
i.e. the time within which the concentration drops by 2 times; areas under curves (AUC), i.e. the surface of areas under curves of dependence of the concentration from time. The weight dose of the administered matter was calculated proceed-
ing from the fact that 1 acting unit of penicillin (of penicillin G) contains 0,5988 mkg of active matter.
The statistic treatment of the results was carried out with the help of the standard software package of Microsoft Office’97. Mean values in samples were compared with the help of Student’s t-test, nonparametric sign-test, Craskell-Wolles H-test, median test, and Freedman rank sum [8]. Quantitative evaluation of achieving of negative results of serologic tests (negativation) was carried out with the application of KaplanMeier statistical analysis. The calculations were done with the help of SPSS 9.0 computer program. The reliability level was estimated as equal to 95%.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The distribution of the patients according to their age, term of pregnancy at which the patient was treated, associated pathology, syphilis diagnosis structure and results of serologic tests before treatment are represented in Table 1. The three groups of patients did not differ in a significant way according to their clinical and epidemiological features. This fact lets us compare the treatment results of each group with the results of the other groups.

• Complement fixation test
Penicillin concentration was determined in blood serum of 15 pregnant women infected with syphilis at the term of pregnancy of 25-30 weeks (5 patients from each group). Blood was taken 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours after the beginning of treatment. The average value of penicillin concentration in blood serum in the compared group: 99 is represented on Fig. 1. According to Fig. 1, in case of intravenous injection of penicillin G a high concentration of penicillin in blood serum is
gained within 0.5-1 hour after the injection. This concentration is 3 times as high as in case of intramuscular injection of 1 million units of penicillin and 5 times as high as in case of administering 500,000 units. This concentration exceeds the necessary minimal level (0.2 mkg/ml or 0.3-0.4 units/ml) by 100 times [6,9]. Fast generation of high penicillin concentration in blood serum is essential for saturation of tissues (and first of all of nerve tissues) with penicillin and for penetra-
tion of its therapeutic concentrations through the placental barrier. A relatively high penicillin concentration was preserved for 12 hours in Group 1. By the following infusion it was equal to 5 mkg/ml on the average and exceeded the necessary minimal level by 20-30 times. In group 2 penicillin concentration was equal to 3.5 mkg/ml on the average by the time of the following injection (in three hours) and exceeded the necessary minimal level by 15 times. In group 3 penicillin concentration was lower and equal to 2 mkg/ml, but still it was sufficient. It exceeded the necessary minimal level by 10 times.
The major pharmacokinetical parameters (the mean values for the compared groups) of determining penicillin concentration in blood of pa-
tients from Groups 1, 2, 3 are represented in Table 2. The maximum penicillin concentration in blood serum (irrespective of time of its generation) in Group 1 was 3 times as high as it was in Group 2 and 5 times as high as it was in group 3. The average penicillin concentration in blood serum within the observation period (48 hours) differed as well. In Group 1 it was 2.4 times as high as in Group 2 and 4 times as high as in Group 3. The half-reduction period for penicillin G (in case of intravenous injection of 2 million units) lasted for approximately 3 hours, while for benzyl penicillin it lasted for 1.5 hours. In case of treatment method №. 1 the surface of areas under the curve ‘concentration-time' exceeded the AUC in method №.2 by 2.4 times and in method №3 by 4.1.

Thus, a high level of penicillin concentration data demonstrate satisfactory efficiency of all the in blood serum is generated by means of treating 100three investigated methods. However, method pregnant women infected with syphilis with in- №. 1 is preferable because a higher level of satura-
travenous infusions of penicillin G. Its necessary tion of tissues with penicillin is gained with fewer
level is preserved within 12 hours. The obtained injections a day.
The following features were compared in order to give clinical evaluation of the investigated methods: tolerance of treatment (toxic and allergic effects, exacerbation reaction of Yarish-Lukashevich-Herksheimer), immediate results of treatment - dynamics of reduction of skin and mucous rash within the period of treatment; distant results (dynamics) of negativation of the standard complex of serologic tests and the outcome of pregnancy and labours both for the mother and the foetus.
Apart from clinical effectiveness, tolerance of treatment is an essential factor determining the choice of treatment tactics. This is particularly important for treatment of pregnant women because their organisms are especially sensitive to toxic and allergic drug effects. We understand the notion of tolerance of treatment as both patients’ subjective feelings and objective manifestations
of adverse tests to a medicine. The data on tolerance of the three compared methods are summarized in Table 3.
Adverse tests connected with allergic and toxic effects of the medicines as well as exacerbation tests were less frequent and intensive in case of the first method than in the second and third ones. In Group 1 the highly purified preparation of penicillin - penicillin G - was administered intravenously. Before the beginning of treatment an intramuscular injection of prednisolone (30 mg) was administered to the patients 0.5 hour before the first injection of penicillin G. It is assumed that these two factors would favour the tolerance of treatment for the patients from Group 1.
A comparison of regress terms for siphylids was carried out for patients infected with active forms of syphilis in the observed cases (Table 4).

Kaplan-Meier analysis seems to be the most reliable for statistical evaluation of treatment ef-
fectiveness within the compared groups on the basis of analyzing the time necessary for recovery (in this case, for receiving negative results of serologic tests). The data on the negativation of serologic tests are summarized in Table 5. 3 months after the treatment the results of Wassermann test were negative in Group 1 about 1.8 times more often than in Group 2 and 3.8 times more often than in Group 3 (27.5%, 15.5% and 7.3% respectively). The hazard ratio that reflects the number of negative results within the groups 3 months after the treatment is equal to 1.9 for Groups 1 (0.3216) and 2 (0.1683), while for Groups 1 (0.3216) and 3 (0.076) it is equal to 4.2. In 6 months of observation the frequency of gaining negative results of Wassermann test differed in the following way: by 1.7 times between Groups 1 and 2, and by 2.2 times between Groups 1 and 3.The hazard ratio was equal to 2.1 and 2.7 re-

The hazard ratio was equal to 1.5 and 2.3 respectively. 12 months later the number of negative results between Groups 1 and 2 and 1 and 3 did not essentially differ - by 4-5%. The hazard ratio was not significant either and equaled 1.3 and 1.2. Consequently, by the end of the observation period the differences as to the frequency of negative results of Wassermann test become practically leveled. Breslow and Tarone-Ware statistical tests (which are designed to determine differences in distribution of gained negative results of Wassermann test depending on the treatment factor) have demonstrated that the differences between the compared groups are reliable (B=8.67, P=0.0131, TW=7.46; P=0.024).

The analysis of negativation of results of micro test of precipitation has demonstrated in general the same situation (Table 5). Three months after the treatment negative results of micro test of precipitation were gained in Group 1 2.4 times as often as in Group 2, and 4.1 times as often as in Group 3 (30.0%, 12.7% and 7.3% respectively). The hazard ratio that reflects the number of negative results within the groups 3 months after the treatment was equal to 2.6 for Groups 1 (0.3567) and 2 (0.1356) and to 4.7 for Groups 1 (0.3567) and 3 (0.076). In 6 months of observation the frequency of gaining negative results of
micro test of precipitation differed in the following way: by 1.7 times between both Groups 1 and
2, and Groups 1 and 3.Thus, the hazard ratio was equal to 2.0. 9 months later the number of negative results of micro test of precipitation in Group 1 was 1.2 times bigger than n Group 2, and 1.4 times higher than in Group 3. The hazard ratio was equal to 1.3 and 1.6 respectively. 12 months later the number of negative results between Groups 1 and 2, 1 and 3 did not essentially differ - by 3.8%. The hazard ratio was not significant either and equaled 1.2. By the end of the observation period (12 months after the treat-
ment) the differences as to the frequency of nega 102 The statistical Breslow test has demonstrated tive results of micro test of precipitation in that the differences between the compared groups

Thus, negative results of the standard complex of serologic tests in case of the patients who received penicillin G are obtained earlier than in case of the patients who were administered to benzylpenicillin sodium salt. Especially essential

Labours were the outcome of pregnancy for a higher percentage of patients in Group 1 than in Groups 2 and 3. The differences as to this rate between Groups 1 and 3 are reliable (t=2.14; P=0.0357). The difference as to the percentage of induced labours was also reliable between Groups 1 and 2 (t=2.094; P=0.0385) and between Groups 1 and 3 (t=2.007; P=0.0482). Stillborn was observed in 4.9+3.4% cases in Group 3 and was not observed in Groups 1 and 2.
Thus, the outcomes of pregnancy in the group of patients who were administered to 2 million units of penicillin G every 12 hours are more favourable than for the patients from Groups 2 and 3 who received benzylpenicillin.
CONCLUSION
The examination of immediate and late results of treatment administered to 153 pregnant women infected with syphilis according to the method of treatment has proved that:
• treatment of pregnant women infected with syphilis with intravenous infusions of penicillin G favours high concentration of penicillin in blood serum; penicillin G penetrates into tissues easily and is preserved in them for a long time;
nected with allergic and toxic medicine effect as well as of Yarish-Lukashevich-Herksheimer test in case of administering penicillin G in combination with 30 mg of prednisolone were lower than in case of administering benzylpenicillin;
• intravenous infusion of penicillin G favoured a faster regress of clinical manifestations of syphilis in pregnant women infected with syphilis if compared to administering benzylpenicillin;
• negative results of the standard complex of serologic tests in case of the patients who received penicillin G are obtained earlier than in case of the patients who were administered to benzylpenicillin;
• the outcomes of pregnancy in the group of patients who were administered to penicillin G are more favourable than for the patients from who received benzylpenicillin.
Thus, the obtained data give evidence to the fact that application of penicillin G as a specific antisyphilitic medicine is quite an effective method of treatment of pregnant women infected with syphilis
