Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Pneumocephalus:

1.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 01/01/2004 - "This patient was diagnosed to have pneumocephalus on CT scan study and was treated with antibiotics to which he responded well, and the repeat CT scan done after two weeks showed normal study." 01/01/2006 - "CONCLUSION: The authors hope that this study helps clarifying the effectiveness and indications of antibiotics in prevention of meningitis in traumatic pneumocephalus after head injury and in specific subgroup of these patients." 01/01/1993 - "The two groups were closely matched for age, sex, type of CSF fistula, site, and duration of CSF leakage and presence or absence of skull fractures, but there were more patients with facial fractures and pneumocephalus in those who were treated with antibiotics" 01/01/2006 - "METHODS: In this prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial, 200 selected head injury patients with traumatic pneumocephalus are randomly assigned to receive intravenous antibiotics (2 grams Ceftriaxone twice a day), oral antibiotics (Azithromycin) or placebo for at least 7 days after trauma" Order ALL the reference details at left...
