[Clinical efficacy of aztreonam in pelvic peritonitis]. 1985

K Okamura, and M Nakakuki, and K Yamada, and Y Abe, and K Funaki

Aztreonam (AZT) was evaluated for its clinical efficacy in 6 patients with pelvic peritonitis. In all the cases, AZT was administered by intravenous injection, and the duration of treatment ranged from 4 to 12 days. Daily dose was 2 g in 4 cases, and 4 g in the remaining 2 cases. Surgical treatment was necessary in 2 cases, whereas in another 2 cases, either LMOX or ABPC was administered in addition to AZT. The clinical results was excellent or good in 5 out of 6 cases. Side effects possibly attributed to AZT were diarrhea in 2 cases and slight increase of GOT and GPT in 1 case, although they disappeared promptly afterward.
