Penetration of cefprozil into the middle ear fluid was investigated in patients with chronic otitis media. A total of 89 patients ranging from 7 months to 11 years old participated in the study. The middle ear fluid was removed by ventilation tubes inserted through the tympanic membrane at times ranging from 0.38 to 5.97 h after oral administration of a single dose of 15 or 20 mg/kg of body weight. A blood sample was also collected as soon as the middle ear fluid was removed. Plasma samples were analyzed for the concentration of cefprozil by a high-performance liquid chromatographic assay. Middle ear fluid samples were analyzed for the concentration of cefprozil by a microbiological assay. The concentrations of cefprozil in plasma ranged from 0.38 to 15.97 micrograms/ml at the 15-mg/kg dose level and from 1.28 to 21.47 micrograms/ml at the 20-mg/kg dose level. The corresponding middle ear fluid concentrations of cefprozil ranged from 0.06 to 4.44 micrograms/ml and from 0.17 to 8.67 micrograms/ml, respectively. Cefprozil penetrates well into middle ear fluid in patients with chronic otitis media.
