H Trujillo, and R Manotas, and J I Ramirez, and A Uribe, and N Agudelo, and C T Zapata, and A I Zuluaga, and E L de Vidal

Amikacin was used in the treatment of various Gram-negative infections in sixty-six children ranging in age from two days to thirteen years. Over 72% of the infections treated were classified as severe and the remainder were moderate. Among infections in which the site of origin was the urinary or gastro-intestinal tract, amikacin achieved thirty-eight (95%) complete or partial cures in forty patients. In respiratory tract infections, amikacin completely or partially cured six (75%) out of eight patients. The remaining eighteen infections involved skin, soft tissue and other miscellaneous categories in which amikacin therapy resulted in seventeen (94%) complete or partial cures. Overall, amikacin achieved fifty-four complete cures and seven clinical or bacteriological cures in sixty-six patients, which represents an 82% complete cure rate and 10% partial cure rate for all the patients in the study.
