Department of Pediatrics, Tokyo Kosei-Nenkin Hospital.

Cefteram pivoxil (CFTM-PI) was administered to 37 patients with acute febrile upper or lower respiratory infections and 3 patients with urinary tract infections at 10 mg/kg/day divided into 3 portions. Good clinical effects were observed in all the cases. As for the bacteriological effect, the evaluable 24 strains (60.0%) were eradicated among 43 strains identified in 37 cases with the treatment with CFTM-PI. Only 2 strains were eradicated among 9 strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Among 3 patients with urinary tract infections with Escherichia coli, 2 strains were eradicated from urine after the administration of CFTM-PI. Four cases showed mild diarrhea among 40 cases. It was not clear whether the diarrhea was due to the administration of CFTM-PI.

D015281	Cefmenoxime	A cephalosporin antibiotic that is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. It is active against most common gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, is a potent inhibitor of Enterobacteriaceae, and is highly resistant to hydrolysis by beta-lactamases. The drug has a high rate of efficacy in many types of infection and to date no severe side effects have been noted.
