Clinical and pathological assessments were carried out on the basis of both siddha and allopathy medical systems. The results obtained from the studies are summarized here below: • More percentage of females 65% were affected than male. • High incidence of cases were noted in the age group ranging from 31-50 yrs and in pitha kaalam (80%). • High incidence of cases were observed in lower income group, due to their poverty, unhigiene, poor healthcare and ignorance of treatment. • The disease was present as both acute and chronic onset. • Alterations in equilibrium of the three dosa has were elicited. In vaatha abaanan was affected mainly. In pitham ranjagapitham was affected more. • Among seven udarkalugal, senneer, oon were affected more in majority of the cases. • Siddha diagnosis was achieved with the help of envagai thervugal.

Urine calture studies showed that the urinary tract infection is due to E-coli mainly and secondarily due to other organisms such as klebsielle proteus sps, staphylococcus sps and pseudomonoe, blood investigations showed raised ESR in all the patients. 40 cases were given the trial medicines. The response were assessed daily for the in patients and weekly once for the out patients and recorded in the proforma. The patients responded to the medicines showing gradual decrease in signs and symptoms. After treatment, the urine culture studies 75% of cases showed no growth. The above mentioned results of the studies have given credence to the fact that the trial medicines act effectively in “Salathamba Vaatham”.
