P C Dickinson, and P Saphyakhajon

Eighteen patients with serious Bacteroides infections were treated with systemic clindamycin-2-phosphate. Sixteen patients recovered without complications while two patients died. Few side effects were noted. The infections treated included septic abortion, posthysterectomy infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, perforation of the bowel, postoperative complications of abdominal surgery and pancreatic abscess. The clinical usefulness of this drug in treating Bacteroides infection is confirmed.
