Cerebrospinal fluid penetration of moxalactam in ventriculostomy patients. 1985

R J Creger, and R I Cowan, and H S Nearman, and J L Blumer, and W R Selman, and L H Danziger

The cerebrospinal fluid penetration of moxalactam was simultaneously investigated in three patients with presumed bacterial meningitis. When ratios of simultaneously drawn ventriculostomy to serum moxalactam levels of 1, 2, 3, and 4 h were examined, the penetration ratios were 7.8 +/- 2.4, 11.2 +/- 1.3, 14.2 +/- 2.5, and 15.0 +/- 4.9%, respectively. These ratios were not statistically different from the penetration of moxalactam calculated by the area under the concentration-time curve technique (8.97 +/- 1.89%).

D008581 Meningitis Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome.

D009070 Moxalactam Broad- spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic similar in structure to the CEPHALOSPORINS except for the substitution of an oxaazabicyclo moiety for the thiaazabicyclo moiety of certain CEPHALOSPORINS. It has been proposed especially for the meningitides because it passes the blood-brain barrier and for anaerobic infections. 1-Oxacephalosporin,6059-S,Disodium Latamoxef,Disodium Moxalactam,Festamoxin,Lamoxactam,Latamoxef,Lilly 127935,Ly-127935,Ly127935,Moxalactam Disodium,S-6059,Shiomarin,1 Oxacephalosporin,6059 S,6059S,Disodium, Moxalactam,Latamoxef, Disodium,Ly 127935,Moxalactam, Disodium,S 6059,S6059
