A clinical trial has been carried out in 40 children (age ranging from 2 to 12 years) with postsurgical infections caused by aerobic, anaerobic and facultative bacteria. All have been treated by monotherapy with sodium piperacillin, with doses of 150-200 mg/kg daily in 3 administrations. The drug was administered for a mean period of 7 days, by intravenous infusion or intramuscular route. The causative organism was eradicated in all but 4 cases (90%). Side effects observed were all of mild intensity, and in no case it was necessary to discontinue the treatment with the drug. Both bacterial and clinical results indicate a high tolerability and a very rapid effectiveness of this antibiotic.
