The clinical effects of cefoxitin (CFX) were studied in 31 cases of respiratory tract infections. The results were as follows: As for the clinical effects, CFX was excellent in 5 cases, good in 13, fair in 8 and poor in 5 out of 31 patients; the efficacy rate was 58.1%. The efficacy rate was 57.1% in bronchopneumonia, 61.1% in pneumonia and 50.0% in acute exacerbation of chronic respiratory tract infections. The efficacy rate was 70.6% in the group of 4 g/day or less and 42.9% in the group of 6 g/day or more. The efficacy rate was 50.0% in 6 cases that had not been responded to other antibiotics previously. As for side effects, skin eruption was observed in only 1 patient. No abnormality was observed in laboratory tests due to CFX. In conclusion, CFX is a useful drug in the treatment of respiratory tract infections.
